Last May, a solicitor for the Pennsbury School Board shouted down and censored critics of a new district policy during public comment time at a board meeting, screaming "you're done!" Several of the targets of his wrath said, "see you in court." After almost a year of litigation, the board agreed last night to settle the lawsuit and pay $300,000 in attorney's fees and nominal damages.

In addition, the district has rewritten its public-comment policy to conform to the First Amendment and the federal court's preliminary injunction ruling. It also abolished its so-called civility policy and parted ways with the law firm that was advising it during the time it censored comments, including the solicitor who shouted down speakers.

"School boards across the country should take note. Rules for public comments must respect the First Amendment rights of speakers. If you are limiting which opinions may be shared, you'll be held liable for violating First Amendment rights," said Alan Gura, Vice President for Litigation at the Institute for Free Speech.

Joe is kind of always in isolation in his own little world though, right?

Aside from that, my girlfriend has a niece who has her doctorate in epidemiology. The niece has been working for Gates funded organizations for years. Therefore, everyone in my girlfriend's family got the vaccines and boosters. I on the other hand, have not been vaccinated and continue to take Vitamins C and D along with Zinc and Quercetin. As of Tuesday, when three more in the same household tested positive for the virus, everyone in my girlfriend's extended family has gotten it, including the epidemiologist, some of them twice. Guess who has not gotten the virus? LOL
