Catholic University May Have Broken the Law By Canceling Student-Run Drag Show, Group Warns

The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education warned Ohio’s John Carroll University that it could be held liable for breaking its own promises to students. In a Monday letter, the civil liberties group told President Michael Johnson that the drag show was unarguably covered as protected expression under JCU policies. It cited the university’s “Hate Free Policy,” which affirms that the “central values” of the university include “the right of each person to hold and express one’s viewpoint.”
