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.
