Remember Bill Nevins, the Rio Rancho High School teacher who claimed he was fired for supporting free speech; specifically for helping organize a poetry club and because a student wrote an anti-Iraq, anti-Bush poem? NewMexiKen reported on the story in May. And then someone commenting here said maybe he was just not re-hired (which I guess is different than being fired).
Well, the Rio Rancho district settled with him for $205,000 according to The Albuquerque Tribune.
So fascism isn’t cheap.
I saw that in the paper today. Good for him! Hopefully they will think again before they try to squash free speech.
