A federal judge determined a Pennsylvania law making it a crime to release information about disciplinary complaints against teachers violates the First Amendment. The judge sided with a Central Bucks school board member, who wanted to publicize a misconduct allegation against his son’s school psychologist without fear of being prosecuted for the disclosure. Supporters of the law say it’s needed to protect due process.
