How Does DeSantis And His 'Don't Say Gay' Stuff Get Around The.....

[global1]

Freedom of Speech Amendment to our Constitution? Can he be challenged on that in the Supreme Court? What am I missing here?

1. You generally don't have free speech rights at work.

2. Teachers don't have the right to teach whatever they want.

Only the courts can ultimately decide on how the constitution applies to what is taught in schools.

7. Posts number 1 and 2 are correct.

As a government employee (school districts are the local government), teachers have free speech personally, but their ability to practice is limited at work (in school) by policy in the district and state approved curricula.

An extreme example from the other side would be a right wing teacher promoting Holocaust denial. That would likely lead to discipline and termination. Because it is couched in terms of curriculum, there is more leeway.

I am sure it is being challenged in court and it will likely end up being unconstitutional, but it will take time and effort to do it.

8. Florida teachers can't say "gay" but I wonder if they can say "Governor DeSantis is a very bad man."
