Haralson County School District

The Haralson County School District is a public school district in Haralson County, Georgia, United States, based in Tallapoosa.

[6] In 2013 a bus driver of the district wrote a Facebook post about a child who reported being hungry; he stated that the child stated that he was denied food because there was a lack of $.40 in the account.

The district threatened to fire him if he did not remove his Facebook post, and if he did, he would have to apologize and take a two-week suspension.

Instead the bus driver refused to rescind his post and filed a federal lawsuit against the school district.

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) took the case in 2014.
