Lawyers also submitted evidence in the form of texts made by Davidson County School Board members they say were sent to members of the community “in an effort to malign Christian and his family,” a release says. According to McGhee’s lawyers, the situation unfolded in class on April 9.

McGee said class continued in usual fashion, that the two teens are friends and there was “no legitimate threat of a fight.”
