No Lack of Case Law as it Applies to Government Employees

Is there a lack of case law on the rights of government employees with respect to the First Amendment? Mike Queen says on the Tim Brady Show this morning that there is a lack of case law. He heard it from the organization's lawyers who are offering to argue the Board's position in Sklar v Harrison County (read it here) for "free". Aside from the agenda that these organizations have, one wonders about their understanding of case law.

There is a complimentary and inverse relationship between the rights of the individual and the claimed rights of government employees acting in an official capacity. As the individual rights are enumerated in case law it implicitly limits the claimed rights (privileges) of the government employee who would otherwise interfere with the exercise of that individual's rights.

In other words, if the court says that I have a constitutional right, then it also means that you, as employed by the government, do not have a privilege to violate that right. The balance shifted. The individual's rights increased. The claimed rights of the government were diminished. So, for instance, if I have a right as a parent to provide religious guidance to my child, you, as the local government manager in a school, do not have the privilege of doing an end run around my religious preference to impose your personal view on my child.
