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.
Nice win today on behalf of the Yuengling clan. Watch local law enforcement bedfellowing with school districts, often the two largest employers in a given count.
To silence a mother making too many FOIA's, "Defendants went after a whole family."
Superintendent Kurt Browning illegally bounced two minor children from their zoned local public school, to spite the mother. "The children did nothing wrong" he admitted on cross. @ChristinaPushaw
Here is the clever Compelled Speech reply that persuaded the federal court today to declare that our First Amendment claim is likely to succeed, paving the way for a trial on the merits in April. Please support: SchoolHouseRights.org
Defendants violated these fundamental principles by requiring Plaintiff to “unlearn” his current beliefs and values and compelling him to affirm another set of beliefs about highly contested issues of race, sexuality, religion, privilege, and oppression.
Not even the school board whose flag salute requirement the Supreme Court struck down went quite that far. The school’s attempt to veil naked coercion as “curriculum” is a clear violation of Plaintiff's First Amendment rights.
