Add about $1 million to the check for a Pennsylvania school district that suspended a teacher for being in Washington, D.C., during the events of Jan. 6, 2021.
A June 6 ruling gives lawyers $972,000 for their work on the case of Jason Moorehead, who sued the School District for the City of Allentown in 2022 after posting on social media he was attending the “Stop the Steal” rally in support of President Trump following his loss to Joe Biden.
Though the rally descended into chaos on Jan. 6, Moorehead never got within one mile of the U.S. Capitol. Still, he was told not to show up to work the next day.
An investigation, conducted while Moorehead was still being paid and suspended, concluded Moorehead wasn’t present at the Capitol. Along the way, he was bashed on Facebook and at board meetings by community members.
The district’s reinstatement letter said he would be removed from his position at Raub Middle School and sent elsewhere not yet determined, as long as he take “cultural competence” classes on African American and Hispanic identity.
