The Southern Illinois University of Edwardsville must revise policies and pay $80,000 after a student claimed the school silenced her conservative views.
Southern Illinois University student Maggie DeJong and Alliance Defending Freedom senior counsel Tyson Langhoffer say they're taking legal action after the college issued no-contact orders over Maggie's comments on police and abortion.censored her speechAs part of the settlement won by Alliance Defending Freedom, three professors at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville will take mandatory training related to free speech on college campuses.
As her three-year graduate program drew to a close, Dejong received the no-contact order after her classmates had objected to social media posts she had made on abortion and defund the police. Speaking with Fox News Digital, SIUE directed the news outlet to a statement from Chancellor James T. Minor, who urged people to"see beyond the sensationalism of clickbait, media reports and headlines in search of a more complete understanding of the facts."
"For decades, universities have embraced the challenge of vigorously protecting free speech while at the same time creating a safe learning environment for the expression of diverse views. Protecting these two principles can create tensions. For example, while the First Amendment protects free speech , it does not protect behavior on a campus that creates a pervasively hostile environment for other students.
