If this was at a public school, it’s unconstitutional. See US Supr. Ct. case West Virginia State Board of Education v. Barnette (1943) @ACLU
Of all the cases so far, this one, from a public school, is the clearest violation of the law. This is their constitutional right.https://twitter.com/ShaunKing/status/918644789645635584 …

They don’t have to let them on the team. It’s not like they have a contract or something. It is their right, but it’s also the coach’s right

It is right is the point

I agree it’s their right if that’s what you’re saying. They just don’t have to do it on the Team

A public school is government.

You need to go back to constitution class.

Yep. I feel - in every unfair thing that's happening right now - that the courts are the only way out. But even that is tenuous. It's so sad

They’re being packed with ultra conservatives even as we tweet.

As much as I am all for protest, a lot of states and specific school districts have rules as to what’s allowed and what isn’t.

All of which should be challenged in court.

I agree, man. Whole-heartedly.
