Alec Johnson also reports:
In her lawsuit, Melissa Tempel claimed her firing was in retaliation for comments she made on the social media platform Twitter. Tempel, who had been a teacher at Heyer Elementary School in Waukesha, criticized the district for not allowing the song "Rainbowland" to be performed at a first-grade concert.
In her Sept. 29 ruling dismissing the lawsuit, Judge Nancy Joseph wrote that although Tempel was speaking as a private citizen on a matter of public concern, because her tweet disrupted the district's operations, its interests took precedence in this case.
