Cabot School District Superintendent Tony Thurman confirmed Tuesday that the district recently removed campus visitation restrictions on Moms for Liberty activist Melissa “Missy” Bosch after the district prevailed in a lawsuit filed by Bosch.
“We are pleased with Judge Lee Rudofsky’s decision in favor of the District … but we are also mindful of the Court’s concerns,” Thurman said in an email today. “In the interest of moving past this issue that occurred almost two years ago, the District withdrew the notification requirement. The District stands by its decision to put the notification requirement in place at that time, and we will always act to protect staff and students.”
Rudofsky, a U.S. district judge, last week rejected Bosch’s request that he reconsider his dismissal of the lawsuit, which named the district, the city of Cabot and Thurman as defendants.
The school district had restricted but not banned Bosch’s visits to campus in June 2022, shortly after she was recorded during a Moms for Liberty meeting at which she mused about gunning down a school librarian. Thurman said the restrictions had required that Bosch “provide notice of her intent to access District property unless she was attending to the affairs of her children.”
In his statement today, Thurman said, “We look forward to putting this matter to rest and focusing on what matters most: educating students in a safe environment.”
