A Georgia Gwinnett College student is challenging the school with a federal lawsuit on the grounds that it censored him from speaking out about his Christian faith.
Among a range of accusations in the 73-page lawsuit filed Monday in federal court in Atlanta, Chike Uzuegbunam, a GGC student, and his attorneys, allege that during a period of several months, college police and other officials restricted his speech to “two tiny speech zones” that are open 18 hours per week.
...In July, the lawsuit claims that college officials stopped Uzuegbunam from talking with fellow students about Christianity and handing out religious literature in a plaza outside the college library. After Uzuegbunam complied, campus officials told him that GGC policies also prohibited him from speaking privately with students about his faith unless he provides three days advance notice and speaks only in the speech zones.
