Dear Friends

I received the message below through another coalition Wisconsin Faith
Voices for Justice belongs to.  If you are in the Waukesha area,
particularly if you are in the school district, please come out on
Wednesday at noon to the public hearing on the superintendent's
recommendation to fire the first grade teacher who taught her class to sing
the Miley Cyrus/Dolly Parton song Rainbowland.  The Alliance for Education
in Waukesha sent out the attached message and the message below asking for
support on First Amendment grounds.  Please see the message below and
attached, and come out in support if you are able.

Thank you!

Bonnie

*Subject:* Waukesha hearing on Wed and surprise Mukwonago ruling



This Wed, July 12th, the Waukesha school district will hold a public
hearing at Noon to decide on the superintendent's recommendation to
terminate the employment of Melissa Tempel, the first grade teacher who has
been on paid administrative leave since April after taking her concerns
about the district prohibiting her students from singing "Rainbowland"
public.



The Alliance for Education in Waukesha are asking folks to join a First
Amendment-focused protest outside the admin building (301 Hyde Park Ave)
starting at 11am. They  noted:



For the purpose of the hearing next week, we have been advised to focus on
the First Amendment issue so we are asking people to wear black and behind
the scenes encouraging people not to not wear pride gear or focus on the
"culture war" on LGBT students. The strategy is not to sideline the content
of her message but to show that silencing people's first amendment hurts
everyone regardless of where you stand on other issues.

I've attached their press release in both English and Spanish.



Please share with your networks and encourage folks - especially cisgender
and/or straight white folks - to show up to show support if possible.
