2/ The lawsuit is against a school committee, that the mom happens to be on, and it's not for damages, it's for "declaratory judgement" - i.e. they want to court to make a determination https://goldwaterinstitute.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/NEA-complaint.pdf …

3/ specifically, they want the court to affirm that records X, Y, and Z are private documents, not public documents. page 8pic.twitter.com/ZfU2URawMY

5/ This is normal and coherent and typical wrangling over what documents are public and which aren't. "Send us everthing" no, it's private "send it all" some of it is medical records "yeah, but they're already REDACTED, and the price information IS a public budget" etc etc

6/ I am a big fan of transparency. I have filed 10 or 12 RSA 91-A (that's the NH state level FOIA equivalent) requests in the last 6 months. ...but some things get redacted. Personal phone numbers. Non work notes sent via work email, etc. This is reasonable.

7/ A week ago I filed a 91-A for a phone list and specifically said "feel free to redact the phone numbers; I'm only after the presence or absence of certain people".

8/ Yesterday the town's attorney said "there are 50 emails responsive to your request; you are due these in 5 days, but I'm travelling the next few days ; would you be so kind as to give me an extra week?" and I responded "of course; reading and redacting will take a while"

9/ So, I have no opinion on the merits of the specific records that NEA is trying to hold back, but "personnel records" is the kind of thing that MANY right to know laws specifically exempt. So "In Defense of Liberty" blog framing this as "NEA sues mom" is absolute bull !@#.

Replying to @MorlockP
Saw the article and kept scrolling. Was pretty sure it would be BS without even looking. Anti-SLAPP was going to hurt if not.
