Texas teachers sue state over investigation of social media posts, citing First Amendment violations.
The Texas American Federation of Teachers has filed a federal lawsuit against the Texas Education Agency, alleging it violated teachers’ First Amendment rights by investigating over 350 educators following the September 2025 killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
The union claims the state’s directive to report on social media posts labeled as “vile” was overly broad and vague, chilling free speech, particularly regarding personal political commentary.
The lawsuit centers on teachers’ rights to express opinions on public issues outside work, citing cases where educators were investigated or fired for posts on topics like karma and immigration, which the agency said could breach ethics codes.
The case highlights tensions over free expression, political influence in public education, and government oversight of teachers’ off-duty speech.
