'Young Americans' given free speech 5 days/month

Preliminary injunction allows some campus distribution of information. Students who are trying to build a base of conservative citizens on a Florida college campus have been given some First Amendment rights to hand out information and talk to others.

That’s the result for the Palm Beach State chapter of the Young Americans for Freedom, who were granted a temporary injunction in their confrontation with the school over their rights to talk to others and recruit.

According to the Alliance Defense Fund, which is representing the students, the school has agreed to a court injunction that will allow two students to “disseminate leaflets and/or converse with the general public.”

The injunction allows the group to give out literature four or five days each month while the full lawsuit is litigated. The injunction agreement also requires the school to do a full campus club policy review.
