A federal judge dismissed a lawsuit that sought to block Texas Education Commissioner Mike Morath and his agency from investigating teachers accused of making inappropriate social media remarks about conservative activist Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
The Texas American Federation of Teachers filed the suit, arguing on Jan. 6 that Morath “unleashed a wave of retaliation and disciplinary actions against teachers” when he sent a letter to school districts urging them to report “reprehensible and inappropriate” content about Kirk’s killing last year.
