Fox News
FIRST ON FOX: Two Texas fathers who were arrested for allegedly disturbing school board meetings have filed a federal lawsuit claiming the school district violated their rights under the First Amendment.
In the lawsuit, Story and Dustin Clark claimed the school district, five members of the board of trustees, Superintendent Hafedh Azaiez and members of the school district police force violated their rights under the First Amendment, the 14th Amendment and 42 U.S. Code 1983. They claimed the school board acted illegally in hiring Azaiez, in passing a tax increase and in arranging for their arrests.
Clark is a father of four children in RRISD schools. Story is a father of seven children who lives in the district but whose children attend school outside it.
