Proof The Bible Is True

“Excellent article. A reprehensible attack against free speech by the school. The leftists will go to any lengths to silence criticism against this monstrosity called common core. The school has taken more steps to harass this teacher as you will read later in the article.”  Admin

When 12-year junior high school teacher Deborah Vailes posted a criticism she had about the Common Core on her personal Facebook page, school officials immediately retaliated by ordering her to retract her post and threatening disciplinary measures, which could include termination.

Contending that Rapides Parish School District and Pineville Junior High School Principal Dr. Dana Nolan violated Vailes’ free speech rights protected by the United States Constitution, Thomas More Law Center (TMLC) filed a lawsuit with the Federal District Court for the Western District of Louisiana against the school officials Wednesday on the teacher’s behalf.

“Public school students have become ‘guinea pigs’ in a vast untested educational experiment dictated by the Federal Government,” TMLC President and Chief Counsel Richard Thompson expressed. “Our Constitution never envisioned federal control over education.”

Thompson insists that states giving in to the administration of the Common Core — in order to receive federal funding — will find a rocky road ahead.

“But sadly, most states have voluntarily abdicated their responsibilities over education for federal dollars,” Thompson continued. “Their decision will prove disastrous, not only for public education, but also for the freedom guaranteed by our Constitution.”

Thomas More’s lead attorney stressed that Vailes’ criticism of the Common Core was not motivated by any ill-intent against the school, district, state or federal government, but rather by her passion for her students.

“Debbie Vailes’ uncompromising love for her students prompted her to speak out,” Thompson asserts. “And her voice should not be silenced by a tyrannical principal.”
