A former Virginia Tech soccer player who says she was benched for refusing to take a knee during the national anthem has been given to go-ahead to sue the school for violations of her freedom of speech. U.S. District Judge Thomas T. Cullen gave former Hokies midfielder Kiersten Hening the OK to sue coach Charles Aidair on First Amendment grounds after Hening says the coach benched her for refusing to join in with the team’s kneeling in 2020 as a “unity statement.”

Yes, her civil rights were violated but I'll be curious what she asks/receives in damages for not getting to play.

I expect this will result in a ruling that once again, the right to free speech is also the right to not speak. Not condoning or condemning the player…but rather supporting the right to not create a specialty wedding cake, nor to create a speciality web site. There is a possibility of better clarity here, tho. The right to free speech does not entitle a person to an audience. Here, the player’s choice to “sit” as an expression of free speech could be resolved by letting that free speech be exercised in the locker room…and I would be ok with that.

#5. The Supreme Court will not be OK with Kiersten Hening having to choose between kneeling or remaining out of sight, which has nothing to do with an audience. This was decided by the SC cases regarding being mandated to recite the Pledge of allegiance to the flag in a classroom, and the case regarding the Coach/School Teacher being required to choose between praying on the football field or praying out of site under the grandstand.

What is being ignored is the fact that anti national elements who will force the disrespect of our national symbols on students are in charge of major institutions like Virginia Tech. They also control our children's education. This is pervasive and needs to be cleaned out.

This strikes me as a lawsuit which should be difficult to win, unless the coach openly admits that not kneeling was the reason she received reduced playing time (in which case, it is a slam dunk(, but also a lawsuit which should be allowed to go forward.

RE: #9: "Has the coach been fired? If not, why not." The question should be ... How much of a raise did the liberal faculty and administration give the coach for their "bravery" ? I wouldn't be surprised if the Women's Soccer Coach at Va. Tech. is now the third highest paid coach at the University. Let's be real. The football and men's basketball coaches are going to be #1 and #2.

Accused crypto crook Sam Bankman-Fried wrongly predicted that he wouldn’t be arrested just hours before he was actually busted. The fallen 30-year-old FTX mogul casually played video games in the apparent safety of his extravagant home in the Bahamas late Monday while giving an interview about his scandal to options flow platform Unusual Whales. He was asked if he was worried about getting detained if he returned to the US after he revealed he’d be “calling in” to Congress Tuesday rather than testifying in person.

In yet another incident, US President Joe Biden looked almost lost on stage after delivering his speech at the ‘Toys for Tots’ event to mark the holiday season. A confused Joe Biden again asked for help leaving the stage Monday, where he was eventually led from the platform by a young girl. “Which way do we go?” Biden asked a young girl as she took his hand and walked him in the right direction. Biden, 80, touched the little girl’s arm, and started leaving the stage before seemingly losing his sense of direction and asking, “Which way do we go?”

Possessing seven grams or more carries criminal penalties in Russia. Those can include up to two years of “corrective labor.” Yet Griner was charged with smuggling cannabis into Russia, which holds a prison sentence of five to 10 years. Griner was sentenced to nine

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is fast emerging as a top 2024 presidential contender capable of beating both Donald Trump and President Joe Biden, an early election poll suggested on Tuesday.  The new USA Today/Suffolk University survey shows that a majority of GOP voters want Trump to pass the torch to the 44-year-old Republican governor - despite having declared his own third White House campaign last month. And while the ex-president trails Biden in a theoretical head-to-head rematch, DeSantis holds a narrow lead over the Democrat of about four points.

Researchers at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California for the first time produced more energy in a fusion reaction than was used to ignite it, something called net energy gain, the Energy Department said. The achievement will pave the way for advancements in national defense and the future of clean power, Granholm and other officials said. "This is a landmark achievement for the researchers and staff at the National Ignition Facility who have dedicated their careers to seeing fusion ignition become

Earlier today, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell discussed the greatest problem for the Republican Party as it exists with voters. Allowing people to vote is not in the best interests of the Republican Party. If the politicians could just devise a government system that didn’t need voters to support it, things would be much better. As noted by Mitch McConnell, “Our ability to control the primary outcome was quite limited in 2022 because of the support of the former president. Hopefully in the next cycle, we’ll have quality candidates everywhere.”

Another reads, “Mary is a woman who was assigned male at birth.” (Tweet) Attorney Marina Medvin reacted, saying, “Imagine

Federal prosecutors in the Southern District of New York unsealed charges against disgraced FTX co-founder Sam Bankman-Fried, charging him with conspiracy to commit wire fraud and securities fraud, standalone charges of securities fraud and wire fraud, money laundering, and significantly, conspiracy to defraud the United States and campaign finance regulations.

Federal prosecutors say that Bankman-Fried had been engaging in criminal activity as far back as 2019. Multiple conspiracy counts on charges of wire fraud, securities fraud, commodities fraud, and money laundering
