A Santa Clara County education trustee who was censured by his colleagues last month for alleged gender bias has sued the Santa Clara County Board of Education.

Trustee Joseph DiSalvo filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California this week claiming that the board violated his rights to free speech and due process when the trustees decided in a split 4-3 vote to censure him during a July 15 meeting.
