The American Center for Law and Justice says it has reached a settlement with the Watertown City School District in a lawsuit brought on behalf of two families over a seventh-grade art lesson at Case Middle School. The lawsuit alleged that students were exposed to sexually explicit images connected to a lesson about artist Keith Haring.
The settlement terms were not disclosed. The legal group said the parties had reached an agreement and that court documents formalizing the settlement and dismissing the case were being prepared. The source material does not state whether those documents have been filed.
