(NATIONAL REVIEW) – Three conservative students filed a lawsuit against California’s Clovis Community College claiming administrators violated their First Amendment right to free speech by censoring their anti-communist and pro-life flyers.
The three students are members of the college’s Young Americans for Freedom chapter and are represented by the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE).
YAF-Clovis founder Alejandro Flores and club members Daniel Flores and Juliette Colunga received permission from administrators to hang three flyers listing the death tolls of communist regimes on bulletin boards inside academic buildings on campus in November 2021, according to FIRE.
However, a Clovis administrator later wrote in an email that he would “gladly” take the flyers down after receiving complaints, according to emails FIRE obtained via public records request. He also suggested in the emails that it may have been a “mistake” to approve the flyers, saying the school should have banned the flyers under a policy that prohibits “posters with inappropriate or offense [sic] language or themes.”
