The Louisiana Supreme Court has revived a lawsuit between a middle school librarian and furious parents who accused her of promoting pornography and 'erotic content' to children.
Amanda Jones, the school librarian at Live Oak Middle School, sued the Citizens for a New Louisiana, its leader Michael Lunsford, and parent Ryan Thames for defamation in 2022.
The lawsuit was dismissed that same year, but Jones' appeal reached the state supreme court who overruled the judgment on Friday - sending the case back to the court of appeals to reconsider.
And the usual suspects are OUTRAGED! that she should have to defend herself from the charge of being an activist for perverts, of course....
'Before all this, I was just a school librarian, but they wanted to silence me, so I thought I would do the exact opposite and become an activist,' Jones told The New York Times.
Sure, like that's not exactly what you were all along. Why else would you be trying to push this stuff?
The online abuse triggered Jones to launch the legal battle - as she admitted that two years on, she still can't leave her home to buy groceries because of the alleged defamation.
Is that the fat jowly face of someone who isn't getting regular groceries?
Jones' lawyer, Alysson Mills, told WBRZ they are looking forward to their day in court and presenting the case to a jury. 'I believe a jury of ordinary citizens, whey they hear what happened to her, they would want to hold the defendants accountable. The First Amendment does not protect falsehoods,' Mills said.
Well, you keep hoping that, Alysson. I don't think you've any more idea of what ordinary citizens want in a library than your client.

‘During the 2023 National Book Awards Ceremony, Oprah Winfrey praised her and Oprah Daily published an excerpt of Jones [sic - it is the Mail, after all] newly released memoir.’
‘Nuff said.
