  • Preliminary hearings on motions in October–November 2025.
  • Discovery battles over whether online posts caused “disruption” sufficient to justify firings.
  • Potential appeals to federal courts, raising broader First Amendment questions about social media speech by public employees.

The outcome could establish precedent for how far schools and public employers can go in disciplining staff for online commentary, particularly in moments of national crisis.
