ACLJ confronts school officials after a teacher forcibly removed a cross necklace from a student’s neck while at school
“Because the actions of the teacher were disrespectful, inappropriate, and embarrassing for the student who was simply quietly and peacefully engaging in constitutionally protected activity, we have requested that school officials meet with our client and the other students who witnessed the incident, publicly apologize for the teacher’s reprehensible actions, and provide the students necessary assurances regarding their First Amendment rights.” – ACLJ American Center for Law and Justice, April 20, 2023
