The writer of an op-ed piece that is critical of attempts by alleged “anti-Christian groups” to restrict opposition to their views contends that speech codes that prohibit public statements against homosexuality and abortion are common at colleges. “These codes are regularly challenged in court,” he writes, “and just as regularly defeated as unconstitutional restraints on freedom of speech and religion. In the past year, Wayne State University agreed to cease such unconstitutional censorship.” The writer, Steven Francis, is an adjunct professor at Grand Valley State University and an attorney with the Alliance Defense Fund.
