☆ The teacher fired after speaking out when her 1st graders were told they couldn't sing 'Rainbowland' is now suing her school district

A Wisconsin school district wouldn't allow first graders to sing "Rainbowland," a song about acceptance. Tempel is now suing the district, arguing it violated her freedom of speech. Attorneys for Melissa Tempel filed the lawsuit earlier this week, alleging the School District of Waukesha violated Tempel's First Amendment rights. "I am devastated that I am not returning to school today," Tempel said in a statement, released by her attorneys. A spokesperson for the School District of Waukesha did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

☆ Kesha settles producer Dr. Luke's defamation lawsuit over rape accusation

June 22 (Reuters) - Pop star Kesha on Thursday settled a lawsuit brought by her former producer Dr. Luke, who claimed that she defamed him by accusing him of raping her. Dr. Luke, whose real name is Lukasz Gottwald, denied assaulting Kesha and said it was "time for me to put this difficult matter behind me and move on with my life." A lawyer for Dr. Luke had no further comment, and a lawyer for Kesha could not immediately be reached for comment. The court also said that Kesha should be allowed to file counterclaims against Dr. Luke for emotional distress, punitive damages and legal fees. In 2014, Kesha sued Dr. Luke and Sony Group's (6758.T) Sony Music in order to get out of her multi-album recording deal, saying the producer had drugged and raped her in 2005.

☆ NY top court hands win to Kesha in Dr. Luke defamation case
  + stars: | 2023-06-13 | by ( Daniel Wiessner | Thomson Reuters | Dan Wiessner | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +3 min
The ruling reverses a mid-level appeals court that said Dr. Luke was a private figure subject to a lower burden of proof because he is not a household name. The court also said a state judge should have allowed Kesha to file counterclaims against Dr. Luke for emotional distress, punitive damages and legal fees. Christine Lepera, a lawyer for Dr. Luke, said she was confident that Kesha's counterclaims would ultimately be rejected. Kesha sued the producer and Sony Music in 2014 seeking to get out of a multi-album recording deal, and Dr. Luke counter-sued her for defamation. A New York state judge ruled against Kesha in 2020 and an appeals court upheld that decision in 2021.
