In Polk v. Montgomery County Public Schools, a teacher was fired for not agreeing to use transgender pronouns for students and to keep such information secret from students’ parents. Today, the Founding Freedoms Law Center expressed its support for her case as Counsel of Record for an amicus brief.

For many decades, the VSBA has held a monopoly grip over school boards in Virginia, subtly pushing left-leaning priorities into every single school district in the Commonwealth. They act as the unaccountable hidden hand for so many of the terrible policies in our school systems.

The letter educates the Board about how its recently revised policy on “transgender” students violates state and federal laws, while warning that a failure to promptly correct those deficiencies could lead to litigation and burdensome government investigations.

Today, our Founding Freedoms Law Center moved our lawsuit to state court to allow our client, 9th grade homeschooler Samuel Palmer, to be able to compete in track and cross-country with his local high school team.

In this case, three Liberty University students in religious degree programs challenged religious restrictions that Virginia imposes on two educational grants.

Our message is simple: Public school sports is a government benefit that should not be denied to kids simply because their parents choose to educate them at home, especially when it’s because of their religious convictions. They already pay taxes that go to public schools, but they are denied the equal protection of the law. They should get to try out, just like all their peers. 

The lawsuit filed by the Founding Freedoms Law Center last year against Kaiser Permanente on behalf of three women fired because of their religious objections to taking the COVID-19 shot has now been settled for all three plaintiffs.

In an 8–1 ruling, the Court held that Colorado’s law restricting counselors from having conversations with minors to help them address unwanted same-sex attractions or gender dysphoria raises serious First Amendment concerns, affirming that the government cannot prohibit speech simply because it disagrees with the viewpoint being expressed.

The Founding Freedoms Law Center (FFLC) filed a lawsuit in federal court to allow home schooled students in Virginia the chance to play sports for their local public high schools.

Our attorneys just submitted an Amicus Brief with the high Court on behalf of The Family Foundation in E.D. v. Noblesville School District. The brief was in support of a high school pro-life student group who is challenging local school officials after they derecognized the group after it sought permission to post flyers with pro-life messages.

While we cannot share the specifics of the settlement agreement, what we can say is that our clients are very happy with the result.

President Trump invited our former clients, Sage Blair and her mother Michelle, to the State of the Union Address to highlight Sage’s story. The Founding Freedoms Law Center was honored to play a key role in that story.

The Founding Freedoms Law Center (FFLC) recently filed our first brief before the U.S. Supreme Court in a blockbuster case seeking to “save girls’ sports.”

In a high profile case of “liberal lawfare” against conservative Spotsylvania School Board members Lisa Phelps and April Gillespie, the plaintiff Nicole Cole has decided to voluntarily dismiss her lawsuit against them. This is an unequivocal victory in pushing back against these kind of politically motivated legal actions.

Victoria Cobb finally got the chance to address a packed-out crowd of Virginia’s largest high school chapter of Turning Point USA on the hot topic of “Two Genders: One Truth.” The highly anticipated event finally went forward despite a last-second federal lawsuit filed on behalf of a “non-binary” student to try to stop her from speaking!

Ultimately, the Amended Complaint unveils Loudoun County Public Schools' sham targeting of these boys while it ignored numerous, credible threats to their privacy and safety.

This is another key victory in blocking the suspensions while the case moves forward and until a final outcome of the lawsuit.

While the judge’s effective dismissal of all Cole’s legal claims was a decisive victory in our demurrer hearing, the court did allow her 14 days to amend and refile her lawsuit if she chose. We are disappointed to learn that today, on the 14^th day, Cole refiled her Complaint, continuing what we believe to be targeted lawfare against our innocent clients.

This is a great victory for free speech and assembly. We are thankful to the leadership at West Albemarle High School who, after hearing from us about their requirements under the Constitution, quickly did the right thing and allowed the TPUSA event to go forward during their normal lunchtime hour.
