A former vice president and member of the San Francisco School Board has filed a lawsuit on Wednesday accusing the school district and five board members of violating her First Amendment rights in the form of silencing her free speech.
Alison Collins is seeking $12 million in damages from the school district, along with $3 million in punitive damages from each of the five members who stripped her from her position as vice president and involvement in the committee, the lawsuit alleges, which was made public on Twitter by reporter Gabriel Lorenzo Greschler of Jewish news agency KQED.
