The Denver Post: A parent is suing Denver Public Schools and school board Vice President Auon’tai Anderson, alleging that he violated her First Amendment right to free speech by blocking her from viewing and posting on his Facebook page.
The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Denver on Tuesday, comes amid legal uncertainty in the United States over whether elected officials can block constituents from their social media pages.
Colorado legislators passed a law earlier this year allowing elected officials to ban anyone from their private social media accounts. The state law was a first-of-its-kind statute, but the U.S. Supreme Court is set to hear two similar cases and decide the matter in its coming session.
