Six-foot ‘speech zone’ deep-sixed at Oregon college
Chemeketa Community College revises policies after interaction with ADF attorneys representing pro-life students
SALEM, Ore. — Chemeketa Community College has revised its policies so that students may engage in free speech beyond a single six-foot folding table that served as a “free speech zone.” Alliance Defense Fund attorneys represent two Christian students, one of whom was stopped from handing out pro-life literature and displaying pro-life signs outdoors on campus by security officers. Caleb Pearson was told that he would have to get permission from campus officials if he wanted to continue sharing his message, which–if approved–could only be communicated in a small indoor “free speech zone” that consists of a six-foot folding table.
