Students who were interrogated after holding a free speech event on campus filed a lawsuit Tuesday against the University of South Carolina for violating their First Amendment rights.

Student Ross Abbott and the campus chapters of the Young Americans for Liberty and College Libertarians filed the lawsuit, which challenges a number of the university’s policies—including its free speech zone and the requirement that students register in advance before they can exercise their First Amendment rights.

The lawsuit, sponsored by the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE), also challenges USC’s Student Non-Discrimination and Non-Harassment Policy, claiming it is a vague and overbroad restriction that prohibits “unwelcome” speech and “suggestive or insulting gestures or sounds.”

Good for them. Universities are increasingly becoming tools of oppression against the rights of free citizens.
