The Souderton Area School District banned from school property two parents and a former student for criticizing a school board member who posted a lewd message online about VP Kamala Harris.

El distrito escolar del área de Souderton prohibió el acceso a sus instalaciones a dos padres y a un antiguo alumno por criticar a un miembro del consejo escolar que publicó en internet un mensaje obsceno sobre la vicepresidenta Kamala Harris.

La prohibición viola los derechos de la Primera Enmienda de los padres y el antiguo alumno. Así que los demandamos.

In Pennsylvania, voters decide the winners of elections. Not politicians. With 100,000 ballots still to be counted, it's important that we count every vote.

BREAKING: The AP just called the 2024 presidential election for Donald Trump. We’re clear-eyed about the chaos and destruction a second Trump administration will cause to our nation. That’s why we’re done with handwringing, admiring the problem, or waiting anxiously to see which unlawful action President-elect Trump will take on Day One. We are ready to take action the minute Trump takes the oath of office.
