I write about American youth, and the hashtag #exposechristianchools, which I didn't create, went viral in recent days. I'm writing about the response to it and want to hear about all experiences, including positive stories/impact about your time in school. Plz DM me.

Attorney Robert Barnes said that he represents families of students who were libeled, families of some children featured in photos of the encounter and alumni who want to seek legal remedy as well.
“A lot of these journalists that have been saying false statements about these kids … all you have to prove is that they were negligent in doing so, and by this standpoint, by this point in time, it is clear that anyone who continues to lie and lie about these kids has done so illegally and can be sued for it,” he said.
Barnes said that legal fees in libel lawsuits can amount to nearly $1 million in some cases, so he wanted to “equalize the playing field” in the case of some students.
He announced Wednesday that potential defendants are being given a 48-hour notice to retract and correct any false statements about these Covington students.
“If you have said anything false about these kids, they are willing to extend you a 48-hour time period — a period of grace, consistent with their Christian faith — for you to, through confessions, get redemption and retract and correct and apologize,” Barnes said.
He also explained that plaintiffs are allowed to seek “per se damages” in libel lawsuits, meaning that individual damages do not have to be proven.
