Season 6 Episode 6: Disciplining Public Employees for Social Media Posts

What happens if a public school teacher posts unfavorable comments about her school district on Facebook? What about a professor whose political commentary makes some students uncomfortable? When are these expressions protected by the First Amendment's free speech clause and when do they cross the line into a disciplinary matter? Join Christina, Lisa, and Miriam for a refresher on the First Amendment's application to public employees' speech in the school and postsecondary contexts.
