Judge sides with Christian student group suing Texas University System over campus speech law
By Michael Gryboski, Editor
A federal judge has placed a temporary block against a recently passed Texas law that limits who can participate in protests on college campuses and where they can take place.
Earlier this year, a group of plaintiffs, including a Christian student organization, filed a lawsuit against multiple University of Texas system officials over a law called the Campus Protection Act.
Ezra wrote that "while some of Plaintiffs' more extreme examples of impermissible conduct under the challenged provisions may be unlikely to be enforced, they illustrate the statute's breadth and do not negate its many plausible applications."
"These policies do little to clarify for students what expressive activity will or will not be deemed disruptive, and thus prohibited, in the future," he continued.
"Granting administrators and law enforcement discretion to determine what qualifies as 'disruptive' creates a substantial risk that the policy will be weaponized against speech with which they disagree, irrespective of any actual disruption."
