DOVER, Del. — Delaware’s Supreme Court on Tuesday upheld the dismissal of a defamation lawsuit filed by a Delaware attorney who was forced to resign from his law firm after defending a Pennsylvania high school’s American Indian mascot.
“Members of our community wish to bring to the firm’s attention the lawsuit filed by one of your directors, Scott Cousins, against the Unionville Chadds Ford School District,” Goodier wrote. Cousins sued Goodier, alleging that she tortiously interfered with his employment agreement with Bayard, defamed him with her email, and conspired with others to injure him.
As statements concerning an issue of public concern, moreover, they are entitled to heightened First Amendment protection and cannot form the predicate of the plaintiff’s tort claims,” Justice Gary Traynor wrote in a 48-page opinion.“It is not within our purview to adjudicate the longstanding controversy surrounding mascots and symbols that use American Indian iconography.
