A federal judge has ruled that a former women’s soccer player from Virginia Tech can continue her lawsuit against her ex-coach for allegedly benching her after she refused to kneel during a public statement from a social justice organization.
The lawsuit was filed by Kiersten Hening against her former coach Charles Adair. According to Hening, she refused to kneel in support of social justice initiatives including Black Lives Matter (BLM), which resulted in Adair violating her First Amendment rights.
