How I stood up for free speech — and won my case against NYC’s education censors
I know — I am the Manhattan mom removed from an elected school board because my words, about an anonymous author’s antisemitism in a student newspaper at my daughter’s school, offended the leader of New York City’s Public Schools.
This week, a U.S. District Court Judge in Brooklyn made clear that the First Amendment protects all of us in a comprehensive ruling that ordered me reseated and enjoined some of the most censorious provisions of the Chancellor’s Regulations.
Judge Gujarati told my censor — Chancellor David Banks — that “securing First Amendment rights is in the public interest.”
She’s right.
