A group of Florida teenagers has brought suit against the city of West Palm Beach, in hopes of overturning that city’s youth curfew.
The National Youth Rights Association of Southeast Florida (NYRA-SEFL) filed the lawsuit in federal court late last month, after their efforts to negotiate with the city were rebuffed.
According to the executive director of the national NYRA, this lawsuit is the first formal legal challenge to a curfew ordinance ever brought by a youth-led youth civil rights group.
Afternoon update: Here’s a copy of the complaint.
