WMAL GUESTS: 6:35 AM - INTERVIEW - COLT BLACK - Frederick County School Board Member
INTERVIEW - TYSON LANGHOFER - Alliance Defending Freedom senior counsel and director of the Center for Academic Freedom
BACKGROUND ABOUT COLT BLACK: Colt Black is a newly elected Frederick County School Board member in last November’s 2024 election.
Dems took aim at him immediately after he won the school board seat by tight margins. Dems in Frederick were shocked by CONSERVATIVES MAKING GAINS IN SEATS on the Frederick County School Board. Dems immediately attempted a RECOUNT of his school board seat.  THEY LOST. 
During a public board meeting on Jan. 8, Black—speaking in his capacity as an elected board member—addressed his concerns to the community that Board Policy 443 violates the First Amendment by forcing students and school staff to participate in the social gender transition of students and requiring them to use pronouns and names that are inconsistent with a student’s sex. Pressured by a local Democrat committee, the board launched an effort to suppress his speech.  
Black had the legal team at Alliance Defending Freedom to help defend him against Dems attempting to kick him off the board for speaking out.
DEMS LOST AGAIN: Investigation found that Black’s language did not constitute a federal Title IX violation.
Frederick County Board of Education member Colt Black's language at a January meeting did not constitute a federal Title IX violation, an independent investigation found.
ADF attorneys send letter to MD school board demanding end to unconstitutional lawfare
