Not 'Taking the knee' while White...

I thought this might be worth discussing. When disagreement is increasingly becoming the main cause of social ostracism, it's nice to see someone pointing out the problem.

Quote:

Since kneeling on the playing field first became synonymous with support for Black Lives Matter, many student-athletes have faced backlash for doing so, and FIRE has defended their expressive rights. But Virginia Tech junior Kiersten Hening says she was berated and forced off the women’s soccer team for not taking a knee. Her lawsuit against her former coach, Charles “Chugger” Adair, rightly argues that student-athletes should not be compelled to engage in political expression.
