Teaching colleges a lesson

Family Action Council of Tennessee: “Officials at MTSU approved the Pro-Life Collegians’ application, but with a precondition that it had to pay for security for the event . . . Pro-Life Collegians knew that they should not be treated differently from other campus student groups that sponsor events and called on the Alliance Defense Fund’s Center for Academic Freedom (ADF) to help them challenge the university’s discriminatory approval of their application . . . Essentially, according to ADF Litigation Staff Counsel Joe Martins, who wrote the letter, pro-life student groups were being penalized and discriminated against for expressing their beliefs. And the message in ADF’s letter was clear: ‘We’ll sue if necessary.’”
