Boardhawk: Denver Public Schools has asked a federal judge to reconsider his order that the district immediately lift restrictions against critic Brandon Pryor, arguing the ruling encourages Pryor and others to “harass, threaten and bully” school employees.

In a 23-page motion filed this month in U.S. District Court, DPS asked Judge John Kane to suspend his recent order against the district until a higher court rules on an appeal of Kane’s ruling.

The motion is highly critical of Kane’s ruling last month, when he said Denver Public Schools violated Pryor’s free speech rights and retaliated against him with restrictions that were not justified by Pryor’s conduct.
