Spanish River Community High School engaged in unconstitutional viewpoint discrimination this week when it halted a student club meeting and led the speaker off campus.

Spanish River Community High School’s American Club, a student-initiated, student-led club, hosted radio host Bradlee Dean at an after-school meeting of the club, while Sons of Liberty Radio (SOLR) covered the event. Despite being arranged with the school, which had notified students of its occurrence for three weeks on PA system announcements, as well as through social media and posters, the school officials shut down Dean halfway through the event. School officials, acting at the command of the principal, cited “controversial statements” and the “anti-homosexuality” of the group, “The Sons of Liberty,” as the rationale for why they were not allowed to continue the program. One school official stated that the Constitution doesn’t apply to school property and that neither the club nor the speakers had any First Amendment rights. The principal then stated that actually the school just wasn’t able to properly vet Dean and SOLR.

Liberty Counsel sent a letter, informing the school district that it had engaged in unconstitutional viewpoint discrimination, and demanded that the club’s selected speaker be treated on an equal basis with all other approved speakers.

Please pray that Liberty Counsel is successful in defending the constitutional rights of students at Spanish River High School and around the country.
