COLLEGE TRIES TO CENSOR CONSERVATIVE OPINIONS, DRAWS LAWSUIT

'SHOULD ENCOURAGE US TO DISCUSS AND SHARPEN OUR IDEAS'

A community college that is accused of trying to censor conservative opinions on
campus has drawn a lawsuit for its agenda.

Officials with the Foundation for Individual Rights and Express say they have
sued California's Clovis Community College on behalf of several conservative
students.

FIRE charges that public colleges cannot ban students' flyers because
administrators subjectively dislike their political viewpoints.

FIRE represents students from a campus chapter of Young Americans for Freedom,
who had tried to hand out flyers with their opinions.

TRENDING: Who are you calling a fascist, Mr. President?

"Clovis tried to put up barriers against our ideas because administrators didn’t
like them," said YAF-Clovis founder Alejandro Flores. "But that’s the opposite
of what a college should do. Our college should encourage us to discuss and
sharpen our ideas, not shut down the conversation."

It was last fall that Alejandro and fellow club members Daniel Flores and
Juliette Colunga obtained permission from college officials to hang three flyers
on bulletin boards that also are used by a wide range of other interests.

The opinions posted advocated for freedom – and they listed the death tolls of
various communist regimes.

A public records request revealed that one Clovis school administrator
volunteered he "gladly" would take the flyers down and censor the students'
perspectives because someone had complained about their message.

Are conservative students routinely censored on college campuses?

Cited was a school policy stating, "Posters with inappropriate or offense (sic)
language or themes are not permitted…"

FIRE explained how the school officials next manipulated the truth to have the
flyers removed.

"On Nov. 12, Clovis President Lori Bennett personally ordered the flyers
removed. After doing so, she searched for a reason to justify the viewpoint
discrimination, inventing a brand new rule requiring flyers to double as club
announcements," FIRE reported.

Bennett actually wrote, "If you need a reason, you can let them know that [we]
agreed they aren’t club announcements."

However, FIRE pointed out, "Clovis does not have a policy on the books that
requires flyers to be club announcements. But with this excuse in hand, Clovis
employees told student workers to remove the flyers."

Officials then used their "pretextual justification" to banish other flyers that
had been approved earlier to a "rotting 'free speech kiosk'" in a remote part of
the campus.

"By relegating the flyers to a tiny kiosk, Clovis administrators tried to ensure
that YAF’s opinions would never reach the rest of campus," explained FIRE lawyer
Jeff Zeman. "But FIRE’s here to amplify the voices that censors try to silence
and make sure that all Clovis students are heard."

The organization advocating for students pointed out that public colleges, like
Clovis, are required to follow the First Amendment, under which it is
unconstitutional to treat student groups differently based on their viewpoints.

"Free speech is under attack on campuses across the nation, and the recent
improper action by Clovis Community College constitutes yet another
disappointing example," said Young America’s Foundation President Gov. Scott
Walker. "By attempting to stifle the speech of the conservative students in our
Young Americans for Freedom chapter, Clovis administrators engaged in unlawful
censorship in violation of the First Amendment."

The lawsuit is against the college president and other officials, and seeks to
change an unconstitutional policy and hold officials "personally accountable for
violating students' clearly established free speech rights."

EDITOR’S NOTE: During the Biden era of rapidly metastasizing madness, the
greatest madness of all may be today’s shockingly widespread campaign to
indoctrinate, seduce, groom and flat-out RECRUIT America’s children into the
dark world of transgenderism. Countless LGBT activists, including many
public-school teachers, have taken to proselytizing the new transgender
salvation to America’s children, both on social media and within the schools
themselves. Even Biden’s far-left Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier
Becerra fully supports taxpayer-funded amputations of healthy body parts of
these vulnerable children, declaring ghoulishly, “We should help those have the
life-affirming care that they need.” The result? Untold numbers of America’s
kids are being led into lives of not just unending conflict, confusion,
suffering, deformity and disability, but far too often – as multiple studies
prove – suicide. The whole unbelievable story – including the underlying
reasons, almost entirely unreported elsewhere, for what amounts to the most
massive child sexual abuse campaign in American history – is explored as never
before in the July issue of WND’s critically acclaimed Whistleblower magazine,
titled “WHAT’S REALLY BEHIND THE TRANSGENDER CRAZE?”
