You mean the ECU which stated that kneeling by band members would not be tolerated as a firm policy by the university. And the student's own legal advisors and a retired judge from the courts told the complaining students they had no case so it is not even worth filing. The bottom line is that a university can remove you from any extracurricular activity hosted & funded by the university for any reason -- and you have no legal recourse to do anything about it. There is no "first amendment rights" or any such nonsense when it come to the rules set by the university relating to extracurricular activities the university funds -- and the university can establish standards & expectations for behavior.
First you said they were laughed out of court now you're saying they never went to court.Got it.Liar.
Can you show me a single suit -- ANYWHERE IN THE U.S. -- where students successfully sued for first amendment rights related to kneeling while involved in a university sponsored & funded extracurricular activity. Case closed!
That lawsuit settlement had nothing to do with first amendment rights -- despite her lawyer's statement.
Can you show me The ECU case that you claimed was laughed out of court or thousands of athletes who got covid twice.Thanks.
Read the entire article(s) your provided. It was about how her civil rights related to the procedure used in not allowing her to appear on the field in later games. To this very day -- cheerleaders are not allowed to kneel on the field during the national anthem at KSU. If she "won" her settlement based on "first amendment rights" then cheerleaders would be kneeling in later seasons.
In other words they punished her for exercising her 1st amendment rights and paid 145,000 for doing so
