We read:
"A former Florida assistant state attorney who lost her job over teaching about the Founding Fathers and the Constitution settled her case for an undisclosed amount Thursday against the Florida state attorney who fired her.
KrisAnne Hall was fired last year after participating in a number of political speaking engagements, including at tea party rallies and on talk radio, in which she discussed her originalist views of the Constitution. Her boss, State Attorney Robert “Skip” Jarvis, said he received a complaint about her activities and gave what Hall described as an “ultimatum,” telling her to choose between her speaking engagements and her job.
“I told him I could not make that choice. I believe that my First Amendment right is my right and I would not stop speaking,” Hall said in an interview with The Blaze.
Hall subsequently filed a federal lawsuit after her dismissal, alleging her rights had been violated and Jarvis had no standing to order her to stop speaking on her own time. Both parties agreed to settle the case Thursday.
Hall would not discuss details of the settlement, except to say she was very satisfied and had her attorney fees paid. She will not be returning to the state attorney’s office.
Since her firing, Hall said she has “made it a ministry” during the past year to continue to lecture about the Founders’ original intent.

It sounds me like she did exactly the right thing. Good for her!

WOW, A lady with "Balls".
You go girl!
She was fired because of "a" complaint? One complaint? There's got to be more to this story. Could "Skip" be one of those anti-Conservative FloriDUH liberals? Has anyone checked to see how many people have complained about Skip?
I hope she took him for a huge bundle, but unfortunately, it's the tax payers who have to pay, as usual.
That's right - its the poor taxpayers of the great state of Florida who have to pay for the stupid actions of the State Attorney who obviously knows nothing about basic freedoms.
