It’s time to add another loss to Ryan Walters’ impressive run of legal defeats!
Yesterday afternoon, U.S. District Court Judge Bernard Jones granted KFOR a “temporary injunction” in their free speech lawsuit against the OSDE and its tubby propaganda chief, Dan Isett.
If you remember, KFOR sued the OSDE and Isett because they weren’t allowed to sit at the big boy media table during State Board of Education meetings and were instead relegated to the card table in the den with the other plebs, commoners, and illegitimates.
This apparently bruised KFOR’s ego and, according to the lawsuit, inhibited their First Amendment rights to report the news. I guess the judge agreed.
Here are some details via Yawn Doc:
After an hour-long hearing this morning, U.S. District Court Judge Bernard Jones granted local news station KFOR’s request for a temporary injunction against State Superintendent of Public Instruction Ryan Walters and State Department of Education Director of Communications Dan Isett.
The ruling means Walters and Isett will be forced to allow KFOR reporters to attend Thursday’s State Board of Education meeting and subsequent press availability in person.
