On January 2, the U. S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit issued a decision in Fales v. Garst. In Fales, three Arkansas special education teachers brought suit against the principal of their school. After the teachers received a favorable decision from the U. S. District Court, the principal appealed.
The Court of Appeals attempted to balance the teachers' interest in freedom of speech v. their "employer's interest in promoting efficiency."
