Florida: Teacher Canned for Letter Plans to Sue

Accused "hate speech criminal" fights back.
A veteran Florida school teacher who was forced out of her job for writing a
letter to lawmakers complaining about illegal immigration intends to sue
her school district.
Orange County school officials have apologized repeatedly to outraged
members of the Hispanic community for Jan Hall's letter, which expressed
concern that illegal immigration is draining tax dollars and hurting the
public education system. The letter also stated that several Puerto Rican
teachers in the district lacked proper educational qualifications.
After the Spanish-language newspaper El Nuevo Dia obtained and published the
letter, Orange County school officials suspended the longtime teacher
without pay and barred her from all school property in the district.
Now Hall has notified the district of her intent to file a $20-million
lawsuit. A spokesman for Hall, local conservative talk-show host Doug
Guetzloe, says the teacher was merely exercising her free-speech rights.
