Gady Youmans, a pastor who runs a Christian learning center in Georgia, believes Vidalia City Schools violated his First Amendment rights when they cut ties with his ministry over a Facebook post.

In September 2025, the Vidalia City Board of Education proposed a property tax hike, which Youmans criticized in a few now-deleted Facebook posts. Citing the Facebook posts as evidence of his “misalignment” with the school board, the superintendent told Youmans they would be ending their partnership with his released-time education program called Sweet Onion Christian Learning Center.

Youmans had no idea that his program, which has served hundreds of students in the area as a non-profit religious ministry, had been under investigation by the school for months. This prompted Youmans to partner with Alliance Defending Freedom to sue Vidalia City Schools for violating his First Amendment rights.

This wasn’t just a wrong decision. I didn’t realize how constitutionally protected my ministry and the work I do actually was.”
