School District Pauses Restrictive Pubic-Comment Policy after Parent Threatens First Amendment Lawsuit

A public school parent challenged a school district policy that appeared to allow favorable comments about employees at school-board meetings while restricting criticism. After a conservative organization sent the district a letter on the parent's behalf warning that the policy may violate the First Amendment, the school board temporarily suspended oral public comment while reviewing its policy, although residents could continue submitting written comments. It remained unclear whether critical comments concerning individual employees would be made publicly available.
