The Supreme Court has accepted Davenport v. Washington Education Association (05-1589) and Washington v. Washington Education Association (05-1657) and consolidated the cases for argument.



“This is excellent news and a first step toward securing the First Amendment free speech rights of teachers and 17 million union-represented employees across the country,” said Michael Reitz of the Evergreen Freedom Foundation (EFF), an initial complainant in the case. “We look forward to the oral arguments in January, and are optimistic that the Court will restore justice for teachers.”
