Citing violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act, Merrie Young filed a $200,000 lawsuit against the school district of Astoria, Oregon, for barring her daughter from the local softball team. Anna Inskip is autistic, has difficulty keeping track of the game, slow reflexes, and a history of seizures. School officials had allowed her to practice with the team, but liability concerns ruled out team membership. A federal judge ruled in Ms. Young's favor.
