Former Oregon high school athletes Alexa Anderson and Reese Eckard came to an agreement with the state’s high school sports league, the Oregon School Activities Association (OSAA), in a lawsuit over free speech violations.
Anderson and Eckard stepped down from a state championship medal podium on the last day of May to protest a transgender competitor, and alleged they were forced out of the podium photo and not given their medals in response.
The two teens filed a free speech lawsuit against the OSAA in July, and claim their medals were then sent to their law firm, America First Policy Institute (AFPI).
AFPI Director of Litigation Andrew Zimmitti said that the case achieved what it set out to do, in bringing awareness to the treatment of Anderson, Eckard and other students in Oregon who express similar views.
