Jeremy Story, a Round Rock father and pastor, was forcibly removed from a school board meeting by police while speaking peacefully. Thirty days later, he was arrested at home, an act catalyzed by a superintendent and board members who sought to silence his exposure of their wrongdoing. The case has garnered national attention from outlets like Fox News, Eric Metaxas, The Daily Signal and Glenn Beck. He sued the school district. The false charges against him were expunged. He is still pressing forward to establish a precedent to affirm parental and free speech rights.
The civil case aims to defend parental rights and combat school board overreach. Jeremy needs to raise more funds as the school board has already spent over $100,000. After multiple years Jeremy’s case has successfully progressed to the disclosure phase of trial where he has the opportunity to subpoena bad actors at the district to testify and hand over evidence. He is fighting for all parents and needs your help to finish this.
What is at stake is the ability to speak without fear of retribution by government officials. We don’t have to fight about the right to petition our government very often. It’s a right guaranteed by the First Amendment, and even the worst politicians usually are smart enough to at least pretend to listen for a few minutes. But here’s a case where that’s not true.
In fact, Round Rock ISD is totally out of control, and has been for years. When Jeremy Story started pushing back and exposing Superintendent Hafedh Azaiez as an adulterer who threatened his extra-marital girlfriend, a local principal, when she refused to abort the child resulting from Aziez’s relationship with her, the RRISD School Board President gathered four others on the RRISD Board to protect their new Superintendent by harassing and arresting Jeremy Story. Although an independent investigator told the district to get rid of the Superintendent, board members have kept him in order to leverage him to accomplish their political agenda and protect them.
Jeremy needs to raise an additional $105,000 immediately to get through the discovery phase and trial phase or risk loosing the case after fighting successfully to this point. Not one cent goes to Jeremy. Every dollar is used only for the legal and court fees.
Jeremy asks that you pray for him, the lawyers working this case, his family and the school district.
