Hello!
I am a #constitutional law #professor who specializes in #speech, #religion, and women's rights.
I look at the First Amendment through an equality lens.
My latest article argues that public school teachers do NOT have a free speech right to misgender students: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4284105
Today I am working on a symposium piece about religious liberty challenges to #abortion bans.

@CarolineMalaCorbin Do I understand correctly that this is only important for public school teachers, because there's no controversy whether a private school can fire teachers who misgender students (as opposed to public schools, which are for part of the government for some value thereof)?
@robryk
Correct.
The Constitution limits what the state can do (which can include public schools).
The Constitution does not limit private actors.
