Lawyer: Florida High School Threatened Teacher’s Job over Pro-Life Student Group

Alana Mastrangelo     |     11 Nov 2019

Students for Life of America and Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) sent a demand letter last week calling on Gulf Coast High School (GCHS) to approve the school’s Students for Life group, as well as “change their policies district-wide to ensure that no other student faces similar discrimination,” according to the organization.

The pro-life organization told Breitbart News in a statement that an application to start the group “Sharks 4 Life” was denied by Gulf Coast administrators, adding that one of the teachers, Linda Cassidy, was threatened with termination after meeting with the school’s assistant principal, Catherine Crawford-Brown about approving the pro-life group.

“At the meeting, Ms. Crawford-Brown also made pointed remarks numerous times that if Ms. Cassidy continued to try and be a faculty advisor, she could lose her job,” alleges the demand letter. “Specifically, she stated at one point, ‘you better watch it, Linda.'”

Unless FL is a two-party-consent state, Ms. Cassidy should record every future interaction with that school's administrative people. BTW, this demand letter illustrates why the SPLC lists the Alliance Defending Freedom as a hate group. They represent people the SPLC hates.
