A former Tech women's soccer player can officially sue the school's coach for benching her after she refused to take a knee during a social justice protest, a federal judge has ruled. Thomas Cullen, a judge for the Western District of Virginia, ruled on December 2 that Coach Charles 'Chugger' Adair may have violated Kiersten Hening's First Amendment rights for refusing to engage in the protest during the height of the movement.He said he is therefore allowing Hening's lawsuit arguing that Adair penalized her for her political beliefs to continue to trial.
