Give us back our First Amendment rights!
“[N]o government committed to these principles [free speech] can lawfully coerce its citizens into pledging allegiance to ideological views that violate their sincerely held religious beliefs.” –The Virginia Supreme Court (https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/12/lawsuit-schools-woke-speech-demands-resurrected-state-supremes/)
The Supreme Court of Virginia has reinstated a lawsuit filed by a teacher against the West Point School Board… who fired the teacher for not applying male pronouns to a 14-year-old female student.
Again we’re confronted by Compelled Speech–the doctrine that the government has the authority to dictate what a citizen must say. Honk if you can think of any way that doesn’t trample on our First Amendment rights. But it’s very, very popular in American “education,” these days. And a cornerstone of the whole insane transgender craze.
Now the teacher’s lawsuit can go to trial–and God help us if he loses. It would give the government power to put words in our mouths and force us to say them.
And we can kiss our liberty goodbye.
