ADF aims to get answers
By: Bob Kellogg
This snowflake tactic by the cancel culture at various institutions where they repress free speech and free exercise rights of others and only if legally challenged withdraw the rule before a court can hear it then re impose it later is finally being confronted. The roller coaster the secularist progressives have putting conservative believers through and their manipulation of the system may now be brought to an end. Thank God for Alliance Defending Freedom defending ours in this case and thanks go to Breitbart for being one of the few to report on it.

The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear a case involving a student who was stopped from sharing his faith at a college in Georgia.
Breitbart News reports that lower courts dismissed a lawsuit against Gwinnett College because the school changed their unconstitutional policy before the case was heard. But Tyson Langhofer, director of Alliance Defending Freedom 's (ADF) Center for Academic Freedom, says this case has another legal question that needs answering.
"This case is unique in the question it presents," Langhofer comments. "The question presented is whether a government official that violates someone's constitutional rights should get off from any liability if that person didn't suffer any monetary harm."
OneNewsNow reported when ADF requested the Supreme Court's deliberation after two federal courts declined to address the case of students Chike Uzuegbunam and Joseph Bradford. Now the court will look at how many schools sidestep culpability by revising their policies before the trial begins.
"What schools do is they consistently violate rights, and then if you challenge the policy, they say, 'Okay, we'll just change the policy,'" the attorney observes. "And then there's no ruling by the court; there's no holding them accountable. And if they want to modify their policy back, they have the ability to do that."
Uzuegbunam decided to file a lawsuit when school officials prevented him from sharing his Christian faith.

Good grief!
(Does anyone want to buy a vowel?
)
I spoke too soon-- it should be two vowels (at the very least).
Uzuegbunam v. Preczewski
(This story just gets curiouser and curiouser... )
I wonder what the "V" stands for-- maybe "Vladyslava"?
Ya can't make this stuff up folks!
Please stay on topic, the "buy a vowel comment" is funny but that is enough
I'm sure conservative Republicans would be as supportive of this case and still claiming it was a freedom of speech violation if it had been secular students trying to proselytize on the grounds of Liberty University outside their allowed free speech zones. /s
