Turning Point USA sues Arkansas State over speech zones

JONESBORO, Ark. (AP) — A right-wing political group is suing Arkansas State University, alleging the school severely limits free speech on its campus.

Attorneys with Alliance Defending Freedom filed the federal lawsuit Wednesday on behalf of student Ashlyn Hoggard and conservative group Turning Point USA, the Jonesboro Sun reported . Hoggard set up a table at the university in October hoping to generate interest in forming a campus chapter of Turning Point USA, the lawsuit says, but an administrator told her to stop speaking to students citing the university's speech zone policy.
