California student’s free-speech win affects thousands of others

ONN: It took two years but students at a California community college are finally free to hand out copies of the U.S. Constitution on campus.

Pierce College, located in Los Angeles, required that constitution-holding students stand in the school’s “free speech” zones, and get permission to do so, in order to exercise their free speech, reports Campus Reform.

Foundation for Individual Rights in Education attorney Brynne Madway tells OneNewsNow that student Kevin Shaw sued the school for restricting his constitutional rights.

“As part of the settlement,” says Madway, “the defendants agreed to get rid of the tiny free speech zone on the Pierce College campus, and students won’t have to get a permission slip before engaging in peaceful, non-disruptive expression on the campus.”  more here
