American Atheists has won a significant legal settlement on behalf of a teenager who said she was perpetually harassed by one of her Texas high school teachers for refusing to say the Pledge of Allegiance.

As a result of the litigation, the Texas Association of School Boards, which AA describes as a “risk pool funded by Texas school districts,” will have to pay $90,000 to end the case before it ever goes to trial, a decision that suggests they knew how this would play out and wanted to avoid a future, further catastrophe.
