"Parents should never have to fear losing their jobs for questioning their child's education," Lyons said Thursday. "The left is injecting politics into our classrooms, and has shown a commitment to 'canceling' anyone who questions their ideology.
"Anyone who is remotely concerned about threats to our First Amendment rights should feel thankful that Judicial Watch is going to bat for Coach (David) Flynn."
Flynn, a Dedham resident himself, was dismissed less than a month before the start of the rescheduled football season after voicing his concerns to the Dedham School Committee about the ongoing politicization of his 12-year-old daughter’s history class.
Flynn, speaking as a parent, reportedly objected to the instruction of critical race theory, racial identity politics, and inclusion of propaganda distributed by far-left political organizations.
"The left would rather silence you than have to defend their actions with logic and reason," Lyons said. "We salute Judicial Watch as defenders of the First Amendment, and we refuse to remain silent."
