https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=14384Conservative group threatens to sue university over this 2019 incidentThe Alliance Defending Freedom has submitted a letter to the University of Wisconsin, River Falls urging the administration to remove any restraints that would prevent students from freely exercising their First Amendment rights--- or risk litigation.
According to the letter, current university policy is “vague" and "unconstitutional." ADF Legal Counsel Caleb Dalton said, “the only permission slip students need to speak on public college campuses is the U.S. Constitution…â€.
This letter is in response to an incident in Fall 2019 in which student Sofie Salmon was shut down by the administration while recruiting students for a conservative organization. Salmon was rolling a ‘free speech ball’ around campus with a few friends before she was stopped by an administrator who said they must reserve a space before engaging in free expression.
Campus Reform originally posted the video, in which the university administrator can be seen confronting Salmon and her friends. When asked what policy prevented them from being on campus, the administrator responded, “Um, I’m not going to know that off the top of my head.â€
Yet another example of why the SPLC labels the ADF as a "Hate Group"!
