New Orleans, LOUSIANA

Waste of taxpayer money. Who pays for all her lawyers?

June 18, 2008 - A teacher whose artwork on her website contained nude pictures of herself and sculptures made of sanitary napkins has lost another round in her lawsuit against the school board that fired her. A student complained about the "artwork."

A federal judge dismissed Heather Weather's lawsuit against the Lafayette Parish School Board without comment. Her lawsuit claims they violated her right to freedom of expression.

Today, a three-judge panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans affirmed the lower court's ruling.

She was a substitute teacher at Comeaux High School when she was fired.

We also wondered who paid for the lawyers for the butt-painting Virginia high school teacher. These aren't First Amendment issues. They directly affect the quality of our schools by lowering the standards to accomodate the weirdos.
