VICTORY: Uvalde School District backs down after FIRE threatened to sue for the rights of a concerned parent who Uvalde banned from school district property after he spoke out at school board meetings about student safety after the horrific shooting.

Adam Martinez, a father of a child present during the Uvalde school shooting, had questions about a new officer the school district had just hired. During a school board meeting, he asked the police chief questions. Minutes later, he was removed and banned from all school property.

The parents in Uvalde, Texas have a First Amendment right to criticize their school district's police department. After FIRE threatened a lawsuit, Adam can go back onto school district property, attend school board meetings, and make sure that his voice can be heard just like any other parent.
