Keith Kaplan, a resident of Teaneck, New Jersey, has filed a lawsuit against the Teaneck Public Schools Board of Education and the Teaneck School District. The case, filed on October 21, 2025, in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, alleges violations of Kaplan’s First Amendment rights. Kaplan claims that the defendants enforced unconstitutional public comment policies that restricted freedom of speech during board meetings. The complaint highlights incidents where critical viewpoints were censored while supportive comments were allowed. Kaplan seeks a permanent injunction against these policies and nominal damages.
