Several educators in South Carolina have filed lawsuits against their school districts, claiming violations of their free speech rights after they were fired or placed on leave due to social media posts about Charlie Kirk. Among the plaintiffs are teachers and teacher aides from Lexington One and Spartanburg County, who argue that their terminations were unjustified and infringed upon their First Amendment rights. The incidents have sparked discussions on the limits of workplace speech, especially in the context of controversial public figures and events. As investigations continue, these educators are seeking reinstatement and legal redress for what they describe as wrongful termination.
