Political speech for me, but not for thee.

VICTORY: Worcester State can’t defend viewpoint discrimination, finally agrees to allow TPUSA students to recruit on campus

The Worcester State University chapter of Turning Point USA, previously denied student group recognition by the student government because of its conservative viewpoint, now has most privileges of an official student organization. The university’s counsel clarified the group’s status on Thursday following discussions with the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education.

Worcester State’s counsel confirmed that the group can now recruit members and plan events for the upcoming semester. The group does not yet have access to student fees, but will be afforded all privileges if approved for recognition in the fall. FIRE advocated on behalf of the group since March, when it wrote to Worcester State to reverse the student government’s viewpoint discriminatory rejection of the club.

Now lets see if the Student Government understands it can't discriminate against groups because of the viewpoints or beliefs of the group or it's members. They could still deny the application later, and then F.I.R.E would have to step in again.
