Information: There is a growing trend in our public schools and universities that discriminate against conservative, capitalist, or religious speech, assembly, and expression. This bill will make clear in Kentucky that all students may have equal access under the law to express their 1st Amendment Rights without discrimination, nor force the institution to endorse that viewpoint.
