The controversial radical Muslim group, Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) lost its censorship case in its attempt to silence an evening presentation about the menace of Sharia law in  America that was to be presented at the auditorium at Farragut High  School, part of the Knox County school district in Tennessee, RedState reported on Saturday.
 Examiner (h/t Mike F) The non-profit law firm, Freedom X, along with the local ACT for America chapter headed by John Peach, along with his associate, Bill French, had filed a lawsuit in  Tennessee against the Knox County School system alleging that Farragut  High School officials and Superintendent Jim McIntyre withdrew an April  after-hours presentation that was to center around Sharia Law.
The lawsuit was filed based on  violations of the First Amendment that such an event was cancelled just  because the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), who has had  history of supporting terrorism, and has numerous ties to extremist  Islamic organizations, complained and successfully halted the event.
 
Furthermore, the event was to center  on the dangers of its increasing acceptance in the United States but the  Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) objected and had falsely  labeled ACT! for America as a “hate group” and falsely characterized  French as a “bigot”. They also wrongly speculated that the town hall  meeting would encourage violence at the school and would disrupt the  school environment.
  
In winning the lawsuit, Becker,  president of Freedom X, a non-profit legal organization fighting  discrimination against conservatives and Christians said,  “This is a victory for free speech. “Sharia is incompatible with our  constitutional and legal protections. That was the message Knox County  School officials tried to censor. It is unfortunate we have to educate  the educators about our freedoms, but we are thankful that Knox county  attorneys recognized litigation would have been futile for the  district.”
  
Concerning the lawsuit when it was first filed, Becker said in August 2014,  “Muslims in America led by CAIR, which is affiliated with Hamas, a  foreign terrorist organization, are exploiting our laws to erode  everyone else’s freedom of speech… it’s part and parcel of a greater  plan to eventually make us into an Islamic caliphate.”
Freedom X also stated that when the  county agreed to settle the lawsuit, “Peach vs. Knox County Schools”,  just 21 days after it was filed, it also agreed to revising its facility  use policy and that the county will pay attorney’s fees and costs.
