1. Teacher Fired Over Anti-Trump Facebook Post: Lawsuit (patch.com) — A longtime Beverly Hills High School teacher is suing the Beverly Hills Unified School District, claiming she lost a substitute position after posting sharp criticism of Donald Trump and a pro-Trump student rally on Facebook. The district denies firing her over politics and says she remained a substitute, setting up a legal fight over free speech, student harassment complaints, and how the school handled post-election tensions. 
2. Is Beverly Hills the backup Century City? (therealdeal.com) — Beverly Hills is emerging as a serious alternative to pricey Century City for office tenants, with firms like Post Investment Group recommitting to the 90210 at Maple Plaza. Brokers say the Golden Triangle now ranks as L.A.'s second-strongest office market, drawing smaller tenants, family offices, and entertainment companies seeking top amenities, strong city services, and slightly lower rents than Century City's trophy towers.
