A former Walled Lake teacher who said he was fired over tweets supporting President Donald Trump has filed a federal suit against the school district, the superintendent and assistant superintendent of human resources.
The suit filed Tuesday in the Eastern District Court of Michigan alleges the school district s termination of then-28-year-old Justin Kucera violated his constitutional rights to free speech and equal protection.
Kucera, a former Walled Lake Western High School social studies teacher and basketball and baseball coach, received a mixed reaction to the tweets, but did not discuss his political views in the classroom, and all debate regarding this matter took place on social media outside of school grounds, the lawsuit said.
