North Carolina teen sues school after Charlie Kirk tribute sparked ‘criminal investigation

A North Carolina high school student said she was accused of vandalism by her school and told she was being investigated by law enforcement after she painted her school's "spirit rock" with a religious and patriotic tribute to slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
According to a new complaint filed Monday and shared first with Fox News Digital, Gabby Stout, a junior at Ardrey Kell High School, called her school's front office on September 12 to ask if she could paint the school spirit rock with a patriotic message honoring Kirk, who was killed two days prior. Stout was told she could do so as long as the message didn't contain vulgarity or political speech.
The complaint states that she and two friends proceeded to paint a heart and an American flag with the message "Freedom 1776," and a tribute to Charlie Kirk: "Live Like Kirk—John 11:25" on September 13. The students also painted their first names on the rock.
quote:
Within hours, school officials painted over the rock, according to the complaint. On September 14, the principal sent out a school-wide message saying that the spirit rock had been painted with a message that was not authorized. The message called it an act of vandalism and a violation of the student code of conduct, saying that law enforcement had been contacted, and an investigation was underway.
quote:
"I was completely shocked," Stout told Fox News Digital. "I was very intimidated and scared as I had no idea what I did wrong or that I could be getting in trouble for simply sharing and expressing my views and beliefs."
Stout sent a message the same day to school officials acknowledging she had painted the rock but had been given permission by the front office.
The next school day, she was repeatedly pulled out of class and sent to the principal's office, where she was questioned and instructed to write a statement about what she had done and then forced to revise it after she forgot to include the Bible verse in her emotional state. She was also told to give up her cell phone to be searched, all without being advised of her constitutional rights or with legal counsel present.
"I was so scared I could barely hold my pen and write it [the statement]," she told Fox News Digital.
The following day, the district announced a revised policy for its Spirit Rock Speech Code that bans all political or religious messages and requires messages to reflect "positive school spirit," "inclusive values," and be in "good taste."

Anybody wanna bet that rock has been adorned with rainbows and BLM crap over the years without incident?

I bet the Kalshi odds are in the 99% range on that.

You are correct.
quote:
The school had allowed personal and political messages on the rock before this incident. In 2020, the school allowed students to paint a pro-Black Lives Matter message on the rock. Students painted a "black power" fist symbol along with names of individuals they believed were victims of police brutality, the complaint states. After other students painted over the BLM message, the school board held an emergency meeting and allowed students to repaint the BLM message again, this time with more political messages, including "No Justice. No Peace," "I can't breathe" and "End police brutality."
quote:
In November, school officials also facilitated a student walkout from class to protest Immigration and Customs Enforcement ("ICE") raids, Alliance Defending Freedom Senior Counsel Travis Barham told Fox News Digital.
quote:
"So they'll facilitate that kind of left-wing student expression and not just facilitate it, but praise the students who participated," he said. "But let Gabby express a conservative or Christian view on the spirit rock, and criminal charges fly."

Either the excessive botox seeped into her brain or she is just another dumb libtard in public education incapable of separating her personal politics from her professional role.

She's the new one after the other one resigned for personal reasons. This article says it was messy.

Hope the next year’s budget has a line item in it for a settlement.

Throw her in the water, if she floats she is a witch. If she drowns, no loss.

As you read this just remember schools are not allowed to report a student who is an illegal alien but they can take action against a political view point which is not aligned with liberal ideology.

Richard Baris had a poll showing younger people view free speech as violence, but older people (40 and up) consider free speech as a 1st amendment right. This is a direct correlation with indoctrination in schools.
