Former football coach fired for removing Black Lives Matter poster alleges First Amendment rights violated
Fox News
A former Illinois State University (ISU) assistant football coach has sued the team's head coach and the school's former athletic director, alleging his First Amendment rights were violated after he removed a Black Lives Matter poster from his door and replaced it with a different one.
The Tribune also reports the suit, filed earlier this week in U.S. District Court, alleges First Amendment retaliation and viewpoint discrimination against Beathard and claims he was fired because "he did not toe the party line regarding Black Lives Matter."
