   A federal judge on Wednesday overruled a Maine school district   
   that banned a parent from school property after he exposed   
   library books promoting transgenderism and pornography.   
      
   The U.S. District Court for Maine issued a temporary restraining   
   order allowing Shawn McBreairty back on school property after   
   the father filed a lawsuit claiming the ban violated his   
   constitutional rights. The court ruled that the First Amendment   
   protects McBreairty's comments at board meetings, where he has   
   spoken out against sexualized school library books. The court   
   also determined that the school board selectively applied its   
   speech policy, which prohibits "vulgarity," against McBreairty.   
      
   "Here, it is hard to shake the sense that the School Board is   
   restricting the speech because the Board disagrees with both Mr.   
   McBreairty’s opinions and the unpleasantness that accompanies   
   them," wrote District Judge Nancy Torresen.   
      
   The school district's criminal trespass notice against   
   McBreairty is just the latest example of a school board   
   attempting to silence parents who speak out against   
   controversial sex and gender curricula. The National School   
   Boards Association, which represents more than 90,000 school   
   board members, called on the FBI last year to investigate   
   parents who spoke out against sexualized lesson plans as   
   potential domestic terrorists. In April, a board chair barred a   
   Georgia mother from school board meetings after she protested   
   sexually explicit books at her son's middle school. Virginia's   
   Prince William County School Board issued a rule limiting public   
   comment, which parents said was an attempt to stifle debate   
   around controversial issues.   
      
   The Hampden, Maine, school district had barred McBreairty from   
   all virtual and in-person school gatherings, the Free Beacon   
   reported last week. The criminal trespass notice came after   
   McBreairty spoke out at board meetings against school library   
   books that focus on transgenderism, including The Other Boy, the   
   story of a 12-year-old who tries to conceal that he is   
   transgender when his family moves to a new town, and All Boys   
   Aren't Blue, which has been removed from libraries in at least   
   eight states for concerns about "sexually graphic material."   
      
   Marc Randazza, the First Amendment lawyer who represents   
   McBreairty, said that while the Maine father can return to   
   school board meetings, other parents could still run afoul of   
   the school board's vague speech policies, which prohibit   
   "vulgarity," "gossip," and "irrelevance." The judge ruled   
   McBreairty's remarks were not obscenities, as they made a   
   "political or philosophical" point, meaning the ban against him   
   was "unreasonable." Randazza said a court should rule that the   
   speech policy is unconstitutional.   
      
   "There's a policy against criticizing any school employees or   
   officials," Randazza said. "Now you can go there and say nice   
   things about him, but you can't criticize him. Tell me how in   
   the heck that passes the First Amendment muster."   
      
   Randazza cited a similar case where residents sued the Pennsbury   
   School District in Pennsylvania for violating their First   
   Amendment rights and settled for $300,000. McBreairty said he   
   hopes parents across the country will continue to speak out   
   against sexualized curricula.   
      
   "I'm trying to be the tip of the sword for people in Maine   
   because cancel culture is so venomous here," McBreairty told the   
   Free Beacon. "It's time that students, parents, taxpayers, and   
   teachers start to find their own voice."   
      
   The lawyer representing the school board, Allison Economy, did   
   not respond to a request for comment. The school district,   
   Regional School Unit 22, did not respond to a request for   
   comment.
