APS' “personal attacks” policy is declared on its face to violate the First Amendment."

With those words, link, a Chief United States District Judge ruled that former APS School Board President Marty Esquivel's effort to keep me from standing up during public forum and criticizing him and other school board member's public service individually, was unconstitutional.  Writing;

"...on its face, the “personal attacks” policy of Defendant Albuquerque Public Schools Board of Education violates the First Amendment as applied to the States through the Fourteenth Amendment.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Defendant Albuquerque Public Schools Board of Education is permanently enjoined from enforcing its “personal attacks” policy.
Taxpayers have already ponied up nearly $750K in litigation; 750K operational dollars; dollars that should, could and would have been spent in classrooms, had they not been squandered in a nonviable defense of former APS School Board President Marty Esquivel's ego.

Their spending has been done without oversight and without limit.
