A court order barred the State Center Community College District in California from enforcing policies that discriminate against student groups based on their views. The move followed a lawsuit by conservative students who alleged their free speech rights were violated when asked to remove fliers with conservative messaging.
The order permanently prohibits the district from implementing any unlawful viewpoint-discriminatory regulations on student clubs' speech content, including bans on 'inappropriate' or 'offensive' language. The settlement also includes the district adopting a new posting policy, conducting First Amendment training for officials, and paying damages to the students.
