A lawsuit filed by the Alliance Defense Fund is targeting the speech codes imposed on students by the university system in California after several students were prosecuted for the "desecration" of flags used by terrorist groups."America's colleges and universities should recognize the constitutional rights of Christian and politically conservative students just as they do for all other students," said David French, senior legal counsel for the ADF and chief of the ADF Center for Academic Freedom."Officials at San Francisco State are required to respect the U.S. Constitution, which protects the right to free speech in exactly these kinds of situations," he said. As WND reported earlier, the university decided-after months of pressure-not to punish College Republicans who had been accused of desecrating the name of Allah by stepping on makeshift Hezbollah and Hamas flags at an anti-terrorism rally.Led by the non-profit advocacy group Foundation for Individual Rights in Education,the public and some media outlets had called on the school to "uphold the students' constitutionally guaranteed right to free expression.""We are relieved that SFSU has come to its senses and recognized that it cannot punish students for constitutionally protected expression," FIRE President Greg Lukianoff said at the time. "But the fact remains that the university should never have investigated or tried them in the first place. This was a protected act of political protest, and it is impossible to believe the university did not know that from the start."To read more go to:
