It’s not clear yet whether James Corbett, 62, will be financially liable for violating a student’s First Amendment rights.

SANTA ANA – A federal judge today postponed deciding whether to shield high school history teacher James Corbett from financial liability after he was found to have disparaged religion in class.
U.S. District Judge James Selna had issued a tentative ruling last week indicating he would effectively bar 17-year-old Chad Farnan of Mission Viejo from recovering any monetary damages or legal fees in the nearly 2-year-old case, but declined to make that ruling final today after a 45-minute hearing in his Santa Ana courtroom.
