Palatine teacher fired over anti-BLM posts turns to SCOTUS – Legal Newsline

A federal district judge found Jeanne Hedgepeth's free speech rights fall short when compared against the school district's interest in minimizing disruption to the learning environment. And that reasoning was upheld on appeal by the Seventh Circuit panel, which agreed District 211 officials did not improperly bow to the demands of activists, students and others when they fired Hedgepeth.

IL is not a fare speech state. People only have free speech if that speech is pro left, socialist or Democrat. Otherwise,your free speech will be suppressed and punished.

I hope she wins her case; free speech is necessary for a free society.

This case is a big deal. She actually told the truth– BLM is a big shakedown scheme, run by proven fraudsters, with millions of dollars misspent. Hope the US SCT does the right thing here and doesn’t let the politically motivated and Woke administrators block her freedom to tell it like it is.

Thumbs down from the BLM brass that bought mansions in the Topanga Canyon area because it is overwhelmingly white and therefore safe. Fact.
