The public school teacher who was fired because his conservative views were considered “too patriotic” has been reinstated.
Tim Latham, a history and U.S. government teacher at Lawrence High School in Kansas lost his job after being criticized for a website that was “too patriotic.” School officials then decided not to renew his contract, claiming he refused to conform and “did not fit in.”
Latham responded by filing a grievance with the school and sought to be reinstated. According to a report by OneNewsNow.com, after considering the grievance, the school superintendent decided that there were “inconsistencies in the evaluation process” and that “Mr. Latham’s teaching contract with the District should, and will, be continued.
He was represented by the Stegall law firm and, according to the firm, “with this ruling, Mr. Latham has been fully vindicated.”
Latham says he is pleased with the outcome and looks forward to teaching at Lawrence High School next fall.
