School Board Reverses Speech Restrictions

Mesa Public Schools, Arizona’s largest district, just dropped a major policy change: no more silencing criticism. After the Goldwater Institute called the old “only positive comments” rule unconstitutional, the school board reversed course, now allowing praise, criticism, or neutral views — as long as folks stay respectful and within time limits. This win for free speech reminds us that public forums must welcome all opinions, even unpopular ones — while still keeping meetings orderly.
