Washington, DC – Attorney General Karl A. Racine today released the below statement regarding a complaint that the leaders of Two Rivers Public Charter School in NoMa have filed in Superior Court seeking relief from anti-abortion protesters who, the complaint alleges, have been interfering with the school’s educational purpose by intentionally harassing and traumatizing students, parents and teachers as they enter and exit the school:

“Protecting children is one of our highest priorities at the Office of the Attorney General, and we are very concerned about the allegations set forth in the complaint. We are committed to ensuring that students, teachers and parents are not harassed or otherwise intimidated by aggressive and unnecessarily inflammatory protests that go beyond the protections afforded by the First Amendment. The Office of the Attorney General will investigate and prosecute conduct that violates applicable District of Columbia laws.”
