 On campus, even the Constitution isn’t safe on Constitution Day

By Alex Morey September 17, 2018

Much of FIRE’s advocacy on behalf of college students’ civil rights — including freedom of speech, conscience, press, and more — springs from the guidance of a single source: The United States Constitution.

But despite its status as the nation’s preeminent founding legal document, some public campus administrators still don’t fully understand the expressive rights it grants to students. In fact, some of the most cringeworthy, eyebrow-raising, and downright ironic FIRE cases to date involve students getting in major trouble for trying to pass out copies of the Constitution itself.
