Supreme Court won’t weigh Palatine teacher’s firing for posts after George Floyd death – The Hill

The teacher on summer vacation wrote in one post that she would need “a gun and training” because “civil war has begun,” and she reposted another that advocated for using high-pressure washers against protesters. The school district deemed the posts “disrespectful, demeaning of other viewpoints and racist,” which the former teacher alleges amounted to infringement of protected speech.
