We filed a lawsuit after a track coach told student athletes not to PRAY before track meets. We will not allow the First Amendment rights of these students to be trampled on by school officials. https://t.co/dYauHRsAvA

I'm proud @TheLafayetteCo has been a part of this effort. Blown away by the legal team at @ManleyBurkeLPA, as well as the strength of the plaintiffs. We've only just begun to fight, as there's a lawsuit in progress concerning the violation of students' civil liberties. Onward. https://t.co/S6YOejDC4J
