Community College Bureaucrats SHOCKED To Learn First Amendment Totally Applies To Them

The Daily Caller reports:
A federal judge has ordered bureaucrats at a Chicago-area community college to stop ignoring the First Amendment and allow a stridently anti-gay group to distribute leaflets on campus.

The slapped-down school is Waubonsee Community College (WCC) on the far western fringes of Chicago’s western suburbs, Inside Higher Ed reports.

The taxpayer-funded school has established anti-bias policies which, its attorneys attempted to argue, prohibit any discrimination against sexual orientation. Thus, administration officials reasoned, opponents of homosexuality could not speak on the public campus because it might lead to “unlawful hostility.”

The victorious plaintiff in the lawsuit is Heterosexuals Organized for a Moral Environment (HOME), a nonprofit also located in the suburbs of Chicago that vociferously opposes homosexual and lesbian behavior.
There are more than a few college bureaucrats that don't like the free market in speech.
