Does the First Amendment Apply to Christians? | thebereancall.org

Over the last few years of cancel culture, we wondered if the First Amendment applied to Christians. Do we have Freedom of Speech only if it is speech approved by liberals and Progressives or should it apply even if they hate what is said? This was put to the test in Tennessee when Student sent home for wearing 'homosexuality is a sin' shirt gets payment from school district:   

In a statement to The Christian Post, Rich Penkoski said he felt vindicated, saying it's commonplace for the party that opts to settle not to admit wrongdoing on paper. 

"A lot of people don't understand this, but when it comes to civil rights lawsuits … there's this perception that somehow we get paid lots of money for these things. Well, it's not true. Most of the time, it's a dollar," he said. 

"But Brielle got $100, which is way, way more than we thought she was going to get anyway out of this," he added. "The other part of this is all the teachers, at least from 2020, were told to start taking First Amendment courses, it was one of the things that I insisted on, that I wanted them to take First Amendment training courses.”

Perhaps the most important outcome is that all the teachers were instructed "to take First Amendment training courses”
