A national civil rights group said Kennesaw State University officials took away students' First Amendment rights.

That after five cheerleaders kneeled during the national anthem before a game.

KSU officials decided to keep the cheerleaders off the field during pre-game activities following the incident.

This was one of the several changes made to enhance the game-day atmosphere, according to KSU officials.

The Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights under Law believes this is an act of retaliation.
