LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — A federal court approved a settlement between the Clark County School District and a Las Vegas mother on Tuesday after the district blocked her on “X”.
Kimberley Brock sued CCSD last October, accusing the nation’s fifth-largest school district of violating her First and Fourteenth Amendment rights.
According to a federal complaint, Brock noticed a large “progress pride” flag displayed in her daughter’s math class in Sept. of 2023. Brock told school officials why “CCSD was allowing teachers to push an ideology that encourages minor children to explore their sexuality.”

Brock reportedly made several posts on CCSD’s X account to complain about the “progress pride” flag, including tagging the district on other people’s posts.
According to court documents, CCSD blocked Brock after a post she made on April 30, 2024. Brock then sent an email to CCSD’s media relations department a month later, asking why she was blocked. The district then responded with, “Please reference our Terms of Use….as social media users violating the Terms are removed, and then blocked after repeated violations.”
“I’m thrilled that parents’ free speech is now being protected,” Brock said in a statement the Center for American Liberty provided to 8 News Now. “Parents can no longer be silenced or retaliated against for opposing the gender and sexual ideologies being pushed in our school district.”

The Center for American Liberty was co-counsel in Brock’s case against the district.
As part of the federal ruling, CCSD updated its Terms of Use, unblocked Brock, and will pay $10,000 in legal fees.
“Yesterday, following collaborative efforts between CCSD and the Plaintiff, a federal judge approved a settlement agreement that resulted in revised terms of use for CCSD’s social media channels. The parties agree that the Plaintiff’s social media use moving forward will be subject to the revised terms of use,” the Clark County School District said in a statement to 8 News Now.

“No parent should be silenced by their child’s school district for speaking up about what is going on in their child’s classroom,” Mark Trammell, CEO of the Center for American Liberty, said. “This victory restores Kimberley’s voice and sends a message: parents have a right to be heard.”
