Opposition To Alito Swift From Gay Groups
LGBT civil rights groups wasted no time Monday criticizing President Bush's latest nominee to the Supreme Court.

<snip>

Lambda Legal said that the nomination raises potential "Red Flags", the Human Rights Campaign called for close scrutiny, and Stonewall Democrats said Bush was pandering to the far right.

In 2001, Judge Alito authored a decision in Saxe v. State that declared unconstitutional a public school district policy that prohibited harassment against students because of their sexual orientation or other characteristics.

The policy focused on harassment that had the purpose or effect of interfering with a student's educational performance or creating and intimidating, hostile or offensive environment.
