A North Carolina teen painted a tribute to Charlie Kirk on her school’s “spirit rock,” and was promptly censored, according to Alliance Defending Freedom.  

Now, Gabby Stout and her parents are suing the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education for violating the student’s First Amendment rights.  

“[School officials] have unconstitutionally censored [Stout’s] speech that the First Amendment protects, retaliated against her for exercising her First Amendment rights,” the lawsuit states.  

After the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk on Sept. 10, Stout, a junior at Ardrey Kell High School in Charlotte, North Carolina, wanted to do something to honor the life of the conservative Christian leader.  

“I admired his boldness in sharing and defending his Christian faith. I wanted to remind my classmates and community that Charlie was enjoying eternal life with his Savior, Jesus Christ,” Stout told The Daily Signal.  

Stout called the school a few days after Kirk’s assassination and asked for permission to paint the campus “spirit rock,” which she and seen painted in the past with messages supporting a particular NFL team, or even Black Lives Matter.  

According to Alliance Defending Freedom, the Christian legal group representing Stout, the school office told Stout on Sept. 12 that she had permission to paint the rock as long as the message did not contain profanity, a political message, or any vulgarity.  

“Gabby [Stout] had told the school official that she was thinking of painting ‘something USA themed’ as well as ‘something for Charlie Kirk, who recently passed.’ The school official said, ‘That would be very nice,’” according to ADF senior counsel Travis Barham.  

Stout, her parents, and two other students painted the large rock with the words “Freedom 1776” and “Live Like Kirk—John 11:25.” 

“It was important to me to share my faith and to create a space where students could memorialize Charlie,” Stout recalled.  

Hours later, Stout learned on social media that the school had ordered the “Live Like Kirk—John 11:25” message to be painted over.  

The following day, a schoolwide email accused Stout of “vandalism” and informed the student body that law enforcement was conducting an investigation, according to ADF. The investigation included Stout being called out of class to write a statement detailing her actions. ADF reports that officials “forced her to show them her phone logs.”  

“When they pulled me out of class, I felt scared and targeted,” Stout said. “They were punishing me for simply expressing my faith and my love for my country.” 

According to ADF, the school officials did not obtain permission from Stout’s parents to go through the student’s phone, “nor did they inform the students or parents about their constitutional right to remain silent and contact an attorney during a criminal investigation.”  

A few days later, the school issued a Spirit Rock Speech Code stating that only messages of “positive school spirit” that “uphold the inclusive values of our school community” are allowed on the rock.  

“When the officials formally concluded that the student, her parents, and her friends had not committed vandalism, they quietly closed the investigation with no apology and then released a statement saying they never accused or investigated her of anything,” according to ADF.  

The lawsuit claims school officials “unconstitutionally censored” Stout’s protected free speech and “retaliated against” the student for expressing her First Amendment rights. 

“We do not comment on active litigation,” Sheri Costa, director of board communications for the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education, told The Daily Signal when asked about the lawsuit.  

The suit has been filed with the U.S. District Court for the Western District of North Carolina. 

“I’m taking a stand because I want to glorify God, and I don’t want other students to be punished for expressing their faith as I did,” Stout said. “Every student should feel safe sharing his or her beliefs without being shamed by school officials.”

Two alternative EOs, composed by state Republicans and intended to confront AI Amnesty, are circulating on the Hill.

The “National Standard” EO would mitigate social harms, prevent catastrophic risk, hand power over to AI users rather than tech oligarchs, and to “promote human flourishing.” Setting aside questions of how AI and true human flourishing can coexist, the intent is clear—uphold human interests over profits or the Machine.

The EO on “Woke AI” addresses the ridiculous canard that state laws would allow California or Colorado to turn AI “woke”—as if AI wasn’t already “woke” enough. This draft EO does so without stepping on states’ rights to craft their own legislation.

Most importantly, both draft EOs provide viable alternatives to attempts by David Sacks and Co to subvert states’ rights on behalf of tech companies who want to see human beings uploaded, replicated, and replaced.

Read the full drafts below.

The National Defense Authorization Act includes a provision aimed at defending conservative media.  

The NDAA prohibits the Department of War from forming contracts for the purpose of advertising for military recruitment with “advertising firms like NewsGuard that blacklist conservative news sources,” according to the House Armed Services Committee summary of the bill.  

“Major advertising agencies have been effectively censoring conservative media by blocking ads and their revenues. We applaud Congress for taking the stand to oppose such censorship when it comes military recruitment advertising,” Christine Czernejewski, membership director of The Independent Media Council, told The Daily Signal. 

“The Congress acted to make sure all Americans see these ads—and stopping leftwing ratings groups like NewsGuard from targeting conservative media,” Czernejewski said, thanking members of Congress, such as Sens. Tommy Tuberville, R- Ala., Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., Roger Wicker, R-Miss., and Reps. Rich McCormick, R-Ga., Mike Rogers, R-Ala., for their leadership on the issue.

NewsGuard collects data on thousands of news sources and rates the credibility of the platforms.  

Some conservatives, including member of Congress, have previously raised concern over NewsGuard using its platform as a tool of censorship in the name of “combating misinformation.” 

In 2024, the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability conducted an investigation into the “impact of NewsGuard on protected First Amendment speech and its potential to serve as a nontransparent agent of censorship campaigns,” Committee Chairman James Comer said last October.  

Last December, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, criticized NewsGuard as an organization “under increasing scrutiny for its bias against conservative viewpoints.”  

“NewsGuard rates many top conservative outlets as reliable, including for advertisers—the opposite of ‘blacklisting’ them,” NewsGuard COO Matt Skibinski told The Daily Signal.

“Conservative brands rated ‘credible’ by NewsGuard include: Fox News, The Free Beacon, The Washington Examiner, The Daily Caller, The New York Post, The National Review, Western Journal, Commentary, The Heritage Foundation, The Daily Signal, and many others,” Skibinski said, adding that “NewsGuard has never had any U.S. government contracts for placing military recruitment advertisements—nor do we have any plans to do so.”

The 2026 NDAA is over 3,000 pages and includes $900 billion in funding for the Department of War and U.S. defense priorities. 

The House is expected to vote Wednesday on the bill that includes a number of President Donald Trump’s key policy priorities, including codifying some of Trump’s executive orders into law.  

“This year’s National Defense Authorization Act helps advance President Trump and Republicans’ Peace Through Strength Agenda by codifying 15 of President Trump’s executive orders, ending woke ideology at the Pentagon, securing the border, revitalizing the defense industrial base, and restoring the warrior ethos,” House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., said.   

Because the NDAA includes critical funding for American defense, it is considered a “must pass” bill and is expected to pass in the House and Senate before lawmakers leave Washington for the Christmas holiday.
