Maricopa Community Colleges puts price tag on free speech, ends up in court ADF lawsuit says policy requiring fees, waiting period to engage in free speech is unconstitutional
PHOENIX — Alliance Defense Fund attorneys asked a federal court Tuesday to immediately halt a Maricopa Community College policy that puts unconstitutional burdens on visitors if they wish to engage in free speech on the Arizona system’s campuses. The motion was filed as part of a lawsuit filed on Dec. 29 in which ADF attorneys argue that charging fees, requiring an insurance payment, and demanding a two-week advance notice is unconstitutional. The lawsuit came about after Mesa resident Ryan Arneson was unable to express his Christian beliefs on the campus of South Mountain Community College because of the college system’s burdensome requirements. ADF attorneys originally wrote to MCC officials about the problem in May of last year. Full news release, quotes, and related media resources available at the following link:
