"We will almost certainly appeal the denial to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco."
"Teacher Plaintiffs do not have First Amendment rights while teaching, so they cannot bring a claim alleging the infringement of those rights."
Judge denied a preliminary injunction sought by four teachers challenging California Assembly Bill 715, allowing the law to take effect on Jan. 1. Plaintiffs argued the law would chill teaching of the Palestinian perspective; an appeal to the Ninth Circuit is likely. A full trial on the merits will follow and a Jan. 27 meeting will determine next steps. The core legal question is whether state authority over school curriculum limits teachers' classroom speech. The judge held teachers do not have First Amendment rights while teaching. AB 715 bans biased or inaccurate instruction, extends investigations to discriminatory professional development and curriculum, and creates a separate Office of Civil Rights.
