August 23, 2025 Tyler O 'Neill via The Daily Signal 1
While the school system brought “identical facts” against all three boys, it eventually dropped the case against the Muslim boy. While the district “didn’t say Muslim,” Hetzler said “that was the only difference we could find.” While the lawyer said exonerating the Muslim boy “was the right thing,” he faulted Loudon County Public Schools for keeping the cases against the two Christian boys.

August 13, 2025 Evelyn Elliott via The Daily Signal 1
“As the Supreme Court reaffirmed in 303 Creative, the government can’t force Americans to say things they don’t believe,” declared ADF Senior Counsel Bryan Neihart. “The U.S. Constitution protects Emilee’s freedom to express her own beliefs as she continues to serve clients of all backgrounds and beliefs.

Welcome to the Land of the Free… Until You Express an Opinion
