Friedrichs. Friedrichs is a former teacher who took her battle against
forced unionization all the way up to the supreme court. You won't want
to miss our kick-off event!
Events are free
and open to the public, but we do ask that you register so we can
provide adequate food and beverages for all of our guests.

The Bastiat
Society of Nashville is a project of the Beacon Center of Tennessee in
association with the Bastiat Society and AIER.
Rebecca
Friedrichs, a twenty-eight year veteran elementary school teacher, is
the face of a national
movement by teachers and other public employees
to end forced unionism.

The
Friedrichs case was argued before the U.S. Supreme Court on January 11,
2016 and sought to bring "right to work" civil rights to all public
employees in America.
The
Court was poised to rule 5-4 for Rebecca and all public employees who
want to be free from forced speech. But Justice Scalia died a month
after oral arguments leaving our country stunned, and resulting in a 4-4
tied decision for the Friedrichs case.
Rebecca
is currently building a national movement to restore proper authority
to parents and teachers in our schools and to give voice to those abused
by unions. Her network is supporting Mark Janus in his US Supreme Court
case, Janus v AFSCME, which will be heard February 26, 2018, and also
seeks to free workers from forced unionism.
Rebecca's editorials
have been published around the country. She's the host of a successful
Prager University video on the real reasons teachers unions attack
school choice.
She's appeared on numerous radio, and television news outlets including CBS News, NBC, FOX News, FOX Business Network, and NPR.
Rebecca
is happily married to Charles Friedrichs, Director of the School of
Music and Dance at San Diego State University. She and Charles have two
grown sons, Kyle and Ben.
