Student ousted from Zoom for sharing faith, invited back

A high school student, previously muted and removed from a Zoom session for expressing his faith, has been invited back to share his beliefs.

Zion Ramos, a junior at Arkansas Connections Academy, an online high school, has been invited to share his faith for three minutes after being muted and removed from a Zoom meeting.

The First Liberty Institute, a legal organization focused on religious liberty, stated in a demand letter to ARCA that these actions infringed upon Ramos's First Amendment rights. 

“I’m glad the school agreed to do the right thing,” said Ramos. “Freedom of speech isn’t just a right; it's the foundation of our liberty. Christians must stand up, speak out and defend our right to share what we believe.”
