A high school teenager won a $95K settlement after a school accused her of vandalizing a rock with a tribute to Charlie Kirk and then painted over it.Ardrey Kell High School student Gabby Stout said she got permission from officials for the tribute on a large rock at the school that students painted to support various causes.'Today's settlement shows that students do have free speech rights, and school officials, when they overstep their bounds, can be held accountable.'The design had a large red heart with the benign messages "Freedom 1776" and "Live Like Kirk — John 11:25."After she painted the innocuous tribute, the school officials apparently changed their minds, painted over it, and then accused her of vandalism. They also said there was an investigation under way and that law enforcement had been contacted.Stout told Fox News she was shocked by the school's actions."I was very intimidated and scared, as I had no idea what I did wrong or that I could be getting in trouble for simply sharing and expressing my views and beliefs," she said.Stout's family was represented by Alliance Defending Freedom in court."The school’s paying a very substantial settlement here because it violated Gabby Stout's constitutional rights," ADF senior legal counsel Travis Barham said. "They publicly accused Gabby of engaging in vandalism, of violating the school student code of conduct," Barham added.The school made the accusation in an email sent to the entire community. In the settlement, the school was forced to make another statement admitting the accusation was false."That's exactly the kind of name‑clearing statement that we wanted to get from the school from the outset," Barham said.Barham had previously noted that the students were allowed to make other political statements on the rock, including one for the Black Lives Matter movement, without incident.RELATED: Liberals spew hatred against moment of silence for Charlie Kirk on Thursday Night Football The lawsuit also forced the school to adopt a formal student free speech policy in order to have a consistent policy about expression."Today's settlement shows that students do have free speech rights, and school officials, when they overstep their bounds, can be held accountable," Barham added.Like Blaze News?

Steven Spielberg’s highly anticipated alien movie “Disclosure Day” hit theaters last Friday. In the weeks leading up to its premiere, a circulating theory — fueled by the government’s ongoing UFO file declassifications — suggested Spielberg collaborated with the government to prepare the public for real alien disclosure.Glenn Beck saw it on opening night, and he says it’s definitely “worth seeing.”But could it actually be predictive programming?On this episode of “The Glenn Beck Program,” Glenn shares his raw thoughts on what “Disclosure Day” really means. Glenn isn’t ready to dismiss the theory that “Disclosure Day” is predictive programming — entertainment designed to plant ideas so that future real-world events feel familiar and less shocking.“The Department of War and the CIA have had an official entertainment liaison office for decades,” he says.“They are brought in to help shape stories, and it's not a shadowy conspiracy ... [Hollywood is] given jets and bases and technical advisers for their movies, and in exchange, they shape the stories for the government, and this is documented policy.”However, there’s another framework worth considering: George Gerbner’s cultivation theory.Gerbner’s theory argues that long-term, heavy exposure to media gradually "cultivates" or shapes people's perceptions of reality, making them believe the world is more like what they see on screen than it actually is.Glenn points out that heavy media consumption is one of the modern era’s defining characteristics, as people are “scrolling and staring and consuming media” essentially “eight hours every day.”“[Gerbner’s] research shows that heavy viewers develop mean world syndrome where everything is a danger. They overestimate the danger, crime, threats. They become more fearful, more dependent, and more open to strong-man measures,” he explains.What if “Disclosure Day” isn’t preparing us for real aliens but rather attempting to scare people into submitting to future government mandates?The most critical question, Glenn insists, is: “Who profits from the fear?”“We've been seeing a steady drum beat of disclosure that is happening. I don't know what's real and what's not,” Glenn confesses.But he does know one thing: “A government who has been denying [aliens] for decades suddenly decides to open the door?”“Why? And who profits from fear?” he asks.To hear more, watch the video above.Want more from Glenn Beck?To enjoy more of Glenn’s masterful storytelling, thought-provoking analysis, and uncanny ability to make sense of the chaos, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.
