Following a national lawsuit, George Mason University lifted its no-contact purchase.
Two female regulation students at Georgia Mason University now have the right to openly criticize tampons in men’s bathrooms without fear of reprisals.
In its lawsuit against Virginia Public University, the Christian legitimate group Alliance Defending Freedom made a settlement announcement.
The school censored two individuals, Selene Cerankosky and Maria Arcara, ordering them never to talk to a peer who wanted “feminine health products” available in men’s rooms.
ADF announced on January 31 that GMU also agreed to change its policy to prevent the use of no-contact orders to stop Selene and Maria from exercising their First Amendment rights and to pay them$ 15, 000 in damages and attorneys ‘ fees.
The decision comes after a situation that started last September.
The students at Antonin Scalia Law School wrote about security concerns regarding allowing people to use men’s restrooms because it would encourage people to use women’s restrooms. In a group text message asking for opinions about the proposal, Cerankosky and Arcara ( pictured ) were both responding to a specific question.
According to the lawsuit,” Their student responded by mocking their fears and labeling their opinions as bigoted because they had claimed to become their representative to the student federal and had originally promised to “advocate for all” learners and viewpoints.”
Shortly after the Sept. 2024 information exchange, the school DEI business placed no-contact directions on the two learners, forbidding them from talking to the scholar who asked for their views.
Both are Christians who oppose sex philosophy.
Alliance Defending Freedom said universities, mainly law schools, may promote complimentary discussion– particularly law schools.
Senior Counsel Tyson Langhofer stated in a media release that” we applaud]the school for engaging in a speech about how no-contact commands are used on campus and working with ADF to strengthen its processes.
The speech continued:
ADF aspires that these new regulations may allow the school to continue to support students, keep a secure environment, and develop a productive exchange of ideas. Selene, Maria, and other law students can now be more assured that their underlying freedoms of expression and faith will be upheld on campus.
The team has recently defended a graduate student from Illinois who posted conventional information on her personal social media account and exchanged related ideas with her classmates via text and class.
Following a federal lawsuit brought by the legal advocacy group, Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville removed its own no-contact orders.
