A Democratic LGBTQ activist launched a campaign Wednesday to challenge far-right Republican Rep. Madison Cawthorn for the chance to represent North Carolina’s 11th District on Capitol Hill.
In her first video for the 2022 campaign, Jasmine Beach-Ferrara slammed Cawthorn for his role in the “Save America” rally held by former President Donald Trump directly before the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
“Some people will say a gay woman who’s a Christian minister just can’t get elected in the South,” she began. “I say an insurrectionist who flirts with Nazis and fires up a violent crowd to attack our democracy ― well, he shouldn’t get reelected anywhere.”

After a high school cheerleader in Pennsylvania dropped a series of F-bombs about her school in a Snapchat post over a weekend in the spring of 2017, she was suspended from the cheerleading team and sued the school district, claiming the suspension violated her First Amendment rights.
Social media has an ever-growing presence in students’ daily lives. As a result, schools are increasingly faced with the question of whether they can discipline students for remarks made online about school or school officials. The answer is not entirely clear because of different court decisions in different judicial districts.
The United States Supreme Court agreed in January to hear the Pennsylvania school’s district’s case, and its decision may provide some clarity on the issue.
