The Supreme Court on Tuesday left in place a lower court ruling upholding a state law restricting boycotts against Israel.
The American Civil Liberties Union had challenged the law, arguing it ran afoul of the First Amendment.
Alan Leveritt, publisher of the Arkansas Times, said the paper was disappointed by the court’s decision not to hear the case, arguing allowing a state to punish “dissenting opinions is abhorrent.” The paper lost a contract with the state-run University of Arkansas System for not promising to engage in any boycotts against Israel for the duration of the contract.
