In May 2007 ABC News featured a report on religious discrimination the Smalkowski family suffered from Hardesty school officials.cite news | url=http://abcnews.go.com/2020/Story?id=3164811&page=1 | title=Atheists in a town of Believers | publisher=ABC News |date= May 11, 2007 | first= | last= | accessdate =2007-09-27] The report included information about an ongoing lawsuit, which was filed by American Atheists on behalf of the Smalkowski family. The lawsuit alleges the Hardesty public schools violated Nicole Smalkowski's (a 13 year-old girl) constitutional rights after kicking her off the school basketball team and suspending her for refusing to join a prayer circle at a sports event. [cite news | url=http://www.atheists.org/legal/Smalkowski/Complaint%20Actually%20Filed%20In%20Federal%20Court%2011%20Aug%202006.pdf | title=Chester Smalkowski, Nadia Smalkowski, American Atheists v. Hardesty Public School District | publisher=American Atheists |date= August 2006 | first= | last= | accessdate =2007-09-27] American Atheists cite school officials and other students harassed Smalkowski and her family because of her lack of religious beliefs, and in one case that the school principal assaulted her father. The school district refutes these claims.
