The other problem is this damn "qualified immunity" bullshit.
Obviously for CERTAIN LIMITED CASES, it makes sense, such as most police officers; MOST of their conduct - not all.
But for slimy, corrupt fascists like this?
They need to be INDIVIDUALLY criminally and civilly liable.
The government pays these damn fees; they keep collecting their paycheck & pension like NOTHING happened, because to them; nothing did happen.
"Most of the award will come from the Allentown School District, the College Fix reported. But two school board members, Lisa Conover and Nancy Wilt, are personally liable for $6,000 and $500, respectively.
After Moorehead was attacked for his whereabouts on J6, the school district had pressed him to take sensitivity training. But he refused and sued them instead.
The jury found that the school district violated his First Amendment rights to free speech, assembly, and political affiliation."
All the people who where responsible for her firing should be held financially responsible, not just a couple of them. Now, the tax payers get to foot the bill for the school district's decision. This isn't right, for they knew darn good and well that she was not doing anything wrong, just showing her support of of Trump. Well, maybe the next time school board elections are held the residents will remember how much they are paying for these scumbag's wrongful firing and kick them out of their seats.
I know right , I just read about the woman in uk who was silently praying was awarded 17k . She wasn’t talking it was silent , she was arrested because they knew her thoughts wtf , but again 17k which is a crazy low amount !
Social Studies teachers were always hated in my high school, mostly because they demanded effort from the students. And that was 40ish years ago. I had respect for that approach as an honors student back then, now I can appreciate that these men and women may very well be the last stand for conservatives in our schools. I am sure there are some libtarded ones but for the most part the ones I have known were all conservative to some degree. Bravo Mr. Moorehead although I agree damages should have been higher.
what i disagree with is this is taxpayer money being paid out for what these jackasses did to an innocent man. none of these tyrants is being held personally accountable.
Not nearly enough $$$$!
Right? That's pretty low for damages maybe he just got back pay and the jury or judge did not award anything on the punitive side
Yep, these awards are never enough to discourage the behavior. Also most likely being paid by local tax payers.
Upside to these rulings is the precedent that they set in case law.

Needs to STOP.
Your property tax dollars at work.
Came here to say THIS!! ☝️
A paltry sum for what they put him through! 🤬
It's tax free, both state and federal. The lawyer took a big chunk though.

Should have been 113,500,000
Not enough to cover lost wages and legal fees and humiliation
When I commit a crime and get caught, I pay.
When the government commits a crime and gets caught... I pay.
That won’t pay his lawyer.
Yes it will. The lawyer in these suits get a percentage of the award plus court and expert testimony costs.
17, you say

Won’t even pay the attorneys
If he had been a blck guy on fetynal who got arrested he would ahve gotten 40 million.
So how much does he get to keep after the lawyer takes their cut? $100?
Only if he agreed to a 99% of the award going in.
