Standing with Chicago Educators Against Union Failures
School District Asks Court to Silence Parents as LJC Fights for First Amendment
On November 22, an Oregon court will hold a hearing in a lawsuit defending the First Amendment rights of Coach John Parks, a track and field coach who was fired for proposing an open division for transgender high school athletes to compete in, to ensure fairness for all student athletes.
Senior Counsel Buck Dougherty will urge the court to grant a preliminary injunction to reinstate Coach John Parks while his case is pending. The lawsuit, Parks v. Lake Oswego School District, argues that Parks’ firing violated his constitutional rights to free speech and due process.
At the hearing, the court will also consider the school district’s attempt to silence parents by striking their declarations in support of Coach Parks from the record.
ABOUT US
We're Taking on the Big Fights.
We fight for the constitutional rights of American families, workers, advocates, and entrepreneurs.
We challenge some of the biggest threats to liberty across the country, taking on issues ranging from free speech to federal government overreach, educational freedom, and more. When Americans’ rights are threatened, we fight back with smart legal strategies to build the America we seek to preserve for ourselves, our families, and our future.
We take on these fights without ever charging our clients a dime—even if it means taking their case all the way to the Supreme Court, like we did for Mark Janus in Janus v. AFSCME, a landmark case where we restored the rights of government employees to choose whether to join a union. We invite you to learn more and join our fight.
The Liberty Justice Center helped Mark Janus win at the U.S. Supreme Court and restore the rights of government workers to choose whether to join a union. Learn More
