 Los Angeles community colleges eliminate free speech zones to settle First Amendment lawsuit

District will open its campuses to free speech

In a victory for free speech rights on campus, the Los Angeles Community College District will eliminate its colleges’ free speech zones to settle a lawsuit with a student.

In November 2016, Los Angeles Pierce College administrators stopped student Kevin Shaw from handing out Spanish-language pocket Constitutions on campus. Shaw was handing out the copies outside of the school’s mandated free speech zones. After the election, a large anti-President Trump rally was held on campus outside of the zones.

This is a win for the Constitution of the United States of America, and a loss for left-wing fascists (but I repeat myself).
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-
