while democrats try taking women's rights away. Congratulations to Republicans. I really don't know how democrats can live with themselves.
A law firm touted victory on Friday when the University of New Mexico (UNM) was issued a preliminary injunction by a federal court judge due to the "hefty" security fee it imposed on an event held by conservative students.
"This is a major win in the battle to protect the First Amendment rights of college students, regardless of the viewpoint they express," Southern Legal Foundation (SLF) Executive Director Kimberly Hermann announced on Friday in a press release.
SLF filed a complaint against UNM officials in February arguing that they "engaged in viewpoint and content discrimination" when they required conservative groups to pay security fees "based on the officials’ subjective assessment of the crowd’s potential reaction" to a speaking event by Riley Gaines.
UNM attempted to charge students over $5,000 in security fees for hosting women’s sports activist and former NCAA swimmer Gaines. Gaines has been a fierce critic of transgender athletes participating in womens' sports. Her presence on college campuses has previously drawn ire from critics and protesters at her speaking events.
