Good for the Geese

You may remember back in December when the San Francisco State University officals sanctioned the SFSU College Republicans for “desecrating” the flags of Hamas and Hezbollah by walking on them during one of their protests.

Well, the SFSUCR club decided that if they can be sanctioned, the college shall be sued.

Attorneys with the Alliance Defense Fund filed a lawsuit Monday in federal court against officials of San Francisco State University, where the administration forced the College Republicans to stand trial for “the desecration of Allah” because they stepped on Hamas and Hezbollah flags in political protest at an anti-terrorism rally.

“America’s colleges and universities should recognize the constitutional rights of Christian and politically conservative students just as they do for all other students,” said ADF Senior Legal Counsel David French, who heads the ADF Center for Academic Freedom.  “Officials at San Francisco State are required to respect the U.S. Constitution, which protects the right to free speech in exactly these kinds of situations.”

ADF attorneys are asking the court to strike down the ill-defined speech code policies of SFSU and the entire California State University system which were at issue in an investigation of students with the campus’s College Republicans student organization.

Let’s see how they like the leftist policies of SFSU stand up to a 1st Amendment challenge.
