When can a school, consistent with the First Amendment, non-renew an employee for their speech? What happens when the High School Football coach doesn’t like his daughter’s middle school social studies curriculum? Are you ready for some... facts that have nothing to do with football? While we're great at talking about sports, this case has nothing to do with football and everything to do with free speech. Our case today is a recent decision from Massachusetts regarding a football coach who had issues with his daughter’s middle school social studies curriculum, which led to conversations, emails, and ultimately, more significant problems, such as his non-renewal. This is the case of Flynn v. Forrest. We also discuss a recent decision in South Carolina NAACP v. Weaver, regarding South Carolina's divisive concepts law. --- Need some education law content for your courses or professional development? We have a Teaching Guide!
