Thread! (with magic ending). If school officials contact your employer to get you/spouse fired for speech on grooming & #crtinschools, maybe use this template: "No possible interpretation can be placed upon your actions other than the desire to punish him for his speech."
Firefighter of 19 years and father of minor child in district asked too many questions at a tour of public middle school's sponsored murals and LGBTQ+&* #safespaces.
So school officials called his employer to get him fired, which is First Amendment speech retaliation by a state actor so "callous and vindictive" that the Dad may well be entitled to punitive damages. Employer obliged, opening investigation on the dad.
School official's complaint to employer also appears to be just factually wrong, so there's a defamation angle, and defamation, like state retaliatory speech generally, is not protected.
Finish up the evidence preservation request, demand an apology, sign and send to involved county officials.
And then for the magic ending, two days later #safespaces are axed school district wide. tampabay.com/news/education…
