A student-aligned free speech group has asked the Supreme Court to rule that bias response teams at colleges and universities chill speech and violate the First Amendment.
, which aims to defend students’ civil rights, has launched legal battles against bias response teams across the country, which have resulted in circuit courts dividing 3-2 over whether such discipline policies are unlawful.
“Universities formally define ‘bias’ to cover wide swaths of protected speech. Bias-response teams are staffed by administrators, disciplinarians, and even police officers — a literal speech police,” reads the group’s petition, which was filed in August to the high court.
Students have filed complaints to bias teams over incidents of fellow students viewing videos of conservative activist Ben Shapiro, tweeting #BlackLives Matter, writing “Build the Wall” on a sidewalk and writing a satirical article on “safe spaces.”
