  • Attorney Brian Festa, Vice-President and Co-Founder of We The Patriots USA, issued the following statement late Wednesday:"It is almost unimaginable that in 21stcentury America parents and their children could be so viciously attacked, both verbally and physically, simply for expressing an opinion that is unpopular, or contrary to the prevailing viewpoint of their school administration.But the First Amendment was ratified precisely to protect that sort of speech.
