A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit filed by a former Kennesaw State University cheerleader against Cobb County Sheriff Neil Warren and powerful former Cobb County state lawmaker Earl Ehrhart of Powder Springs.

The plaintiff, Tommia Dean, was one of five cheerleaders who took a knee during the national anthem at a KSU football game in the fall of 2017 to protest racial injustice and police brutality against African Americans.

The protest attracted the attention of Sheriff Warren and then-state Representative Ehrhart, who said publicly that they found it unpatriotic. Warren and Ehrhart also took credit privately for pressuring the school’s president at the time, former Cobb Commission Chairman and Georgia Attorney General Sam Olens, into keeping the cheerleaders off the field during the anthem at subsequent KSU games, according to text messages first published by the AJC.

From the Atlanta Journal-Constitution:
Quote:
Last year, Dean filed a lawsuit against Olens and other officials, including Warren and Ehrhart. The suit alleged that Warren and Ehrhart had violated her constitutional rights out of racial and political animus.

Judge Timothy Batten dismissed the complaint against Warren and Ehrhart in an order issued Thursday. The ruling does not affect the case against Olens and several other KSU officials, who are still defendants.
