Judge: Ohio teacher can’t be anonymous in lawsuit against Little Miami School District over removal of anti-hate poster
An Ohio teacher sued the Little Miami School District for forcing him to remove an anti-hate poster from his classroom, but a federal judge denied his request to remain anonymous. The teacher's identity had already been disclosed publicly, making it difficult to justify anonymity.
A federal district court judge denied an Ohio teacher's petition to remain anonymous in a lawsuit against the Little Miami School District. The teacher, who hung a 'Hate Has No Home Here' poster in his history classroom, was told to remove it by the school board. The teacher filed a lawsuit seeking an injunction against the poster's removal and a declaration that banning the poster is a violation of his First and 14th Amendment rights. U.S. District Judge Matthew McFarland declined to grant anonymity because the teacher's identity had already been disclosed. The teacher's identity was published on Facebook by a former Lakota School Board member, Darbi Boddy. The teacher's lawyer stated that they will protect his safety in light of the order.
