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…
Below is a true and accurate representation, in oil on canvas, of the Firefighter Dad who stood up for his kids:

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.
