Teacher sues school district after officials fire him for attending Jan. 6 rally — even though he ran the other way when violence and destruction broke out

A former Sacramento, California, teacher has sued the Sacramento City Unified School District after it fired him.

The teacher, Dustin Watson, alleged that the district fired him after learning that he attended the rally preceding the storming of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

What are the details? 

Watson, a former physical education teacher at New Technology High School, said that he made no bones about attending the rally and never tried to hide the fact.

According to a report from the Sacramento Bee, Watson shared Facebook updates that "described the events taking place as they were unfolding," but that he "did not anticipate the events to take a violent turn."SARAH TAYLOR
