"Clap-Out in Kansas: Teacher's Protest Turns Ugly at Zoning Meeting A heated city zoning meeting in Kansas took a dramatic turn when a high school teacher was forcibly removed from the proceedings for repeatedly clapping in opposition to a proposed data center.

The teacher's removal has raised questions about the balance between civility and free speech in public forums."
