Towson Catholic injunction hearing Friday

A Baltimore County judge is expected to rule Friday on an injunction that would force Towson Catholic High School to open in the fall.

Students, parents and alumni continue to protest the surprise closing of the school, which has left families scrambling to make alternate plans for their children. The request for an injunction comes from two families who filed a lawsuit last week in Baltimore County Circuit Court to block the closing.

Judge Ruth Jakubowski will hear arguments behind closed doors beginning at 2 p.m. Towson Catholic supporters were planning to rally outside the courthouse beginning at 1:30 p.m.

This should be interesting. I can't imagine any set of facts that would lead a judge to FORCE a privately owned and operated entity to remain in business after it has closed its doors.
