Teenager sues high school after tribute to Charlie Kirk was called vandalism
Officials at a North Carolina high school are being accused of violating a student’s constitutional rights over a tribute to Charlie Kirk that was called vandalism.
Gabby Stout told Fox News Digital that she called the school in September and asked if she could paint the patriotic tribute on the school’s “spirit rock.” The junior said officials at Ardrey Kell High School had authorized the tribute as long as it didn’t include political speech or vulgarity.
‘I was very intimidated and scared, as I had no idea what I did wrong or that I could be getting in trouble.’
Stout said she and two friends painted a heart on the large stone and added the messages, “Freedom 1776,” as well as, “Live Like Kirk — John 11:25.”
The school responded by painting over the rock and accusing Stout of vandalizing the rock. School officials also said they contacted law enforcement and an investigation was under way.
“If students were responsible for the vandalism, they may be disciplined,” reads a statement from the principal.
Stout said she was shocked by the school’s actions.
“I was completely shocked,” Stout said to 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.”
The school later announced that it was not an act of vandalism, Stout would face no disciplinary action, and there had not been a law enforcement investigation.
Stout said that she has faced health issues from the ostracization, alienation, and stress over the accusations. She claims to have received hateful messages that included, “Die like Kirk.”
The lawsuit was filed by Alliance Defending Freedom on behalf of Stout’s parents and accuses the school of violating her constitutional rights. They point out that the school had allowed other political statements before the Kirk tribute, including one for the “Black Lives Matter” movement.
“So they’ll facilitate that kind of left-wing student expression and not just facilitate it, but praise the students who participated,” ADF senior counsel Travis Barham said. “But let Gabby express a conservative or Christian view on the spirit rock, and criminal charges fly.”

The lawsuit says she was targeted because of her beliefs.
“I don’t think it was fair what happened to me because of my beliefs or my views, which are religious and conservative,” she said. “This has never happened to another group that the school district or school has agreed with. I thought that I was going to get in trouble for sharing my views and my beliefs.”
The board declined to comment to Fox News Digital on the lawsuit.

Felon previously convicted for assault accused of swinging stick with metal screw on the end, bashing elderly woman in face
A 42-year-old male violently attacked an elderly woman in downtown Seattle last week, Seattle Police said.
Just before noon Friday, a number of citizens reported witnessing a male swinging a wooden stick with a metal screw at the end of it along 3rd Avenue and James Street, officials said.
‘He’ll be out in no time to strike again thanks to the Lunatic Leftists running Seattle and Washington State.’
Moments later, the male approached a woman waiting at the crosswalk at 3rd and James and swung the stick like a baseball bat, intentionally striking the woman in the face from behind, officials said.
With that, the victim fell backward to the ground with “a laceration that was bleeding heavily,” officials said, citing the police report.
Numerous bystanders came to the victim’s aid and called 911, officials said.
The Seattle Fire Department treated the 75-year-old woman for serious facial injuries, and paramedics transported her to Harborview Medical Center, where she underwent emergency surgery, officials said.
Even though the suspect walked away from the scene, an analyst with the Real Time Crime Center located the suspect and told officers where he was, officials said.
Within five minutes of the assault, nearby deputies with the King County Sheriff’s Office found the suspect and detained him without incident, officials said.
Deputies transferred the suspect to Seattle police custody, officials said, adding that the suspect was arrested after Real Time Crime Center video of the attack was reviewed.
Officers booked him into the King County Jail for assault in the first degree, officials said, adding that police recovered the weapon as evidence.
Officials added that the suspect had been given a “Violent Person” caution and is a felon previously convicted for assault.
Commenters under KIRO-TV’s video report about the incident don’t appear to be holding out much hope that justice will prevail:
- “He’ll be out in no time to strike again thanks to the Lunatic Leftists running Seattle and Washington State,” one commenter wrote.
- “What’s new,” another commenter wondered, adding that “it’s a third-world sewage dump.”
- “Shocking,” another commenter added, with tongue firmly in cheek. “Failed policies don’t work no matter how you feel about them.”
