Teacher wins free speech case after wearing Trump-themed hat to school
Eric Dodge wore Make America Great Again baseball cap twice but judge found no ‘tangible disruption’ to Washington school
A federal appeals court has ruled in favor of a former teacher in Vancouver, Washington, concluding that his wearing a hat supporting Donald Trump to school was protected speech under the first amendment.
Documents from the ninth circuit court of appeals show that Eric Dodge, a science teacher, brought the Make America Great Again baseball cap to an Evergreen Public Schools building twice before the 2019-2020 school year.
