Court puts brakes on oppressive speech code at L.A. City CollegeALLIANCE DEFENSE FUND NEWS RELEASE Court puts brakes on oppressive speech code at L.A. City College Court grants motion in favor of student called ‘fascist bastard’ by professor for Christian beliefs LOS ANGELES — A federal court Monday granted a motion filed by attorneys with the Alliance Defense Fund Center for Academic Freedom to halt enforcement of a Los Angeles City College District policy that violates student free speech rights. The court’s order, which halts the policy while a student’s lawsuit against the district moves forward, also requires the removal of all of the policy’s language on district Web sites because the court determined that ADF attorneys are likely to succeed in their argument that the policy is unconstitutional.
