First Amendment Defense for Teacher Ray Shelton
Ray Shelton has been a fifth grade teacher at the Mark Keppel Elementary School in Glendale, California for the last 25 years. He has been named the school district’s “Teacher of the Year” twice and earlier this year won the PTA’s Golden Oak Award. Recently, Ray spoke at school board meeting where he opposed district policies that promote transgenderism and allow the secret transing of children behind their parents’ backs. The next morning, Ray was pulled from his class and placed on administrative leave with a letter stating he was under investigation for unspecified “misconduct.”
Funds are being raised for Ray's legal expenses to defend his First Amendment right to free speech. All contributions are greatly appreciated. Any proceeds collected which exceed those necessary to cover Ray's legal expenses will be donated to a free speech advocacy program.
***All funds will be sent to and managed by The Pivtorak Law Firm***

You are right. You will win. History, and the powers that be, will not be kind to those in our society that intentionally corrupted the minds and bodies of our children.

Federal Court Denies School District's Motion to Dismiss Our Client's Case
December 15th, 2024
On November 15, 2024 federal district court judge, Hon. Consuelo B. Marshall, denied the Defendants' motion to dismiss Ray Shelton's case, ruling that Plaintiff has sufficiently pled his First Amendment, retaliation, and conspiracy claims against Defendants. A copy of the order can be found HERE.
The case is now moving forward to the evidence-gathering phase, where Mr. Shelton can obtain information and documents from Defendants and depose witnesses, in order to help him prove his allegations.
Your continued support is appreciated as we progress in the fight for justice.
