ADF Sues after College Rejects Pro-Life Event

 

The Alliance Defense Fund (ADF) filed suit Monday after a community college refused to allow a pro-life event on campus because of its "discriminatory" message.

Spokane (Wash.) Falls Community College officials rejected plans by Beth Sheeran and members of a Christian student group to hold their event, claiming the college prohibits one-sided events and expressive displays.

"Christian students shouldn't be threatened, silenced and discriminated against for attempting to share their beliefs on public college campuses," said Heather Gebelin Hacker, litigation staff counsel for ADF. "But this school goes beyond censorship to actually try to compel the students to make statements they don't believe."
