https://freebeacon.com/campus/virginia-school-board-weighs-speech-code-that-would-prohibit-criticism-of-equity-plan-criticism-of-equity-plan/
The code briefly acknowledges employees have a First Amendment right to engage in protected speech, but says that right "may be outweighed" by the school district's interest in "promoting internal . and external community harmony and peace" as well as "class equity, racial equity, and the goal to root out systemic racism."
Nicole Neily, president of the free speech legal group Speech First, told the Free Beacon the directives of the school board do not supersede the First Amendment.
"It's deeply concerning that a public school system.which is a state actor and is bound to uphold the First Amendment.seems determined to police its employees' speech on matters of public concern," Neily said. "The school's plan is . designed to chill speech with which the district disagrees."
The new policy proposal also tells employees they have a "duty to report" their colleagues' alleged speech code violations to the school district administration. Employees would be prohibited from "retaliating" against accusers, even if the accusations are false. The policy claims the district will accommodate false complaints, so long as they are found to be made in "good faith."
Loudoun County has come under fire for spending $422,500 on diversity training inspired by critical race theory, which claims racism is inherent in nearly every aspect of America. The school district also received backlash from teachers and parents for teaming up with the Southern Poverty Law Center to create a "social justice" curriculum for kindergartners.
