First Amendment group sues UCF over bias response team, speech code
Fox News
A First Amendment group is suing the University of Central Florida over a set of policies that it says "chills protected speech and expression" of students on campus in violation of the Constitution.
"We believe that the school has designed these policies to have the effect of chilling students' speech so that the policies have both the design and effect of discouraging students from expressing themselves," Speech First President Nicole Neily told Fox News. "Most universities now that if they were to just flat out ban -- you know, 'you can't say I support President Trump...' If they had that on the books, it'd be challenged, it'd be thrown out," she continued. "So instead they use what I think of as like weasel words. They ban offensive language or harassing language or ... words that students find humiliating."
