New Jersey Institute of Technology hired Jason Jorjani in 2015 to teach philosophy.

His lecturer’s contract was renewed twice in 2016 and 2017.

The university then opted not to renew Jorjani’s contract based on “private” comments about race, politics, and immigration, around the time that Jorjani created what was called “Alt Right Corporation.”

Jorjani’s speech was protected by the First Amendment, according to a decision issued on Sept. 8 by the U.S. 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals, which reversed a district court’s judgment.

It applied to all public buildings and grounds, at all military posts and naval stations, and on all naval vessels of the federal government in the United States and its territories.

⬛ Parents may sue NJ restaurant owner over Kirk post

❎ A South Jersey restaurant owner claimed high school students were 'celebrating' Kirk assassination
❎ The owner posted student names
❎ Parents are considering a lawsuit

Parents of some students in the Haddonfield School District say they are considering a lawsuit against a restaurant owner after he accused several teenagers of 'celebrating' the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

Chris Maynes owns the Whole Hog Cafe in Cherry Hill. On Wednesday night, he posted on Facebook about how his child was horrified by the shooting of Charlie Kirk and claimed it was made worse "as several HMHS (Haddonfield Memorial High School) students celebrated the murder while passing a phone around in glee as they watched the horrific shooting."

He then listed some of the named of students he claimed were celebrating Kirk's death and the message, "I don’t care that I’m putting these names out there because if your kids are associated with them, you might want to have them keep some distance, because these are obviously some very misguided teens. I hope their parents are proud of what they have raised."

Maynes since edited the post to remove the names, but one parent told NJ.com "the damage had already been done."
