7. Kenny did not even recall signing the noncompete, which is typical. A 2011 study by an M.I.T. professor "found that employers typically presented workers with noncompete contracts when the employees lacked negotiating leverage, on their first day at work, for instance." — PolitiTweet.org

6. Months later, Kenny found work as a daytime guard at a bank for $15/hour. He was fired after his previous employer sent a letter saying Kenny had signed a 2-year non-compete clause. https://t.co/jevDvkfZei — PolitiTweet.org

5. In 2017, Michael Kenny found work as a nighttime security for $11 an hour. He resigned a few weeks later because he's a single father and his overnight childcare fell through. — PolitiTweet.org

4. Noncompete clauses were initially only used for high-ranking executives with access to valuable trade secrets. Today, "fast-food workers, arborists and manual laborers," making little more than minimum wage, are routinely required to sign noncompete clauses. — PolitiTweet.org

3. In the United States, about 30 million people are subject to noncompete clauses. The FTC estimates that noncompete clauses reduce worker earnings by $250 BILLION TO $296 BILLION per year — or just under $2,000 per family. https://t.co/jevDvkfZei — PolitiTweet.org

2. Noncompete clauses "block people from working for a competing employer, or starting a competing business, after their employment ends." Noncompete clauses harm all workers by preventing jobs from opening This reduces competition for labor and drives down all wages — PolitiTweet.org

1. Last week, the FTC proposed a rule banning noncompete clauses. If the rule is ultimately adopted it would be one of the most dramatic expansions in worker rights in decades. And not just for people subject to noncompete clauses. For EVERYONE. 🧵 — PolitiTweet.org

22. Baggett did not respond to multiple requests for comment about the allegations made by her students. She has, however, continued to submit challenges to books in Escambia County school libraries. She challenged a book of poetry on January 5. https://t.co/fZGNFPY1mx — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
21. A former student told Popular Information that, despite Baggett's "wild" conduct, "a lot of people were scared" to complain to administrators. Northview is a small high school (~90 students per class) and Baggett has taught English there for more than 30 years. — PolitiTweet.org

20. The parent told Popular Information that no action was taken in response to their complaint. The school did not address the specific allegations in the letter, and Principal Sherrill told the parent that Baggett was "a good person." https://t.co/fZGNFPY1mx — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
19. The September 2019 parent letter also claims that Baggett "openly stated that men and women should 'Know Their Role.'" Baggett allegedly said that "men are the protectors and the women are the nurturers" and that is why "women have the children and the men go to work." — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
18. In the December 2022 interview, Baggett explained that she objected to the book because if a second grader read the book "that idea would pop into the second grader's mind… that these are two people of the same sex that love each other." https://t.co/fZGNFPY1mx — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
17. Among the books challenged by Baggett is And Tango Makes Three. The book is the story of two male penguins, Roy and Silo. The pair build a nest together and raise an adopted child, Tango. Baggett alleges the book promotes the "LGBTQ agenda using penguins." https://t.co/viSaxA7vAB — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
16. The letter states Baggett "has expressed her utter distaste for homosexuals to her students." According to the parent, Baggett "stated she thinks homosexuals are DUMB/STUPID for wearing the rainbow and pink colors because...that is the way that Hitler marked homosexual males" — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
15. In September 2019, a Northview parent emailed principal Michael Sherrill objecting strenuously to Baggett's classroom conduct In the letter, obtained by https://t.co/Gl6evXRDcZ, the parent accused Baggett of creating "a toxic & hostile learning environment for her students" — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
14. The incident was confirmed by Stone, Pressley, and a student who witnessed Baggett's comments and asked to remain anonymous. Popular Information confirmed the identity of the targeted student but is not publishing their identities due to the nature of the allegations. — PolitiTweet.org

13. During class, Baggett also allegedly told a 10th-grade student that her sister, who had a girlfriend, was "faking being a lesbian for attention." Baggett allegedly said that "nobody's born that way." https://t.co/fZGNFPY1mx — PolitiTweet.org
