Seminole Community College: Refusal to Allow Student to Distribute Literature

Florida's Seminole Community College censored student Eliana Campos when she tried to pass out flyers expressing disapproval with slaughterhouse practices. The flyers, which were produced by the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, was censored when an administrator proclaimed that Campos' documents, "instill[ed] a feeling" in her that she did not like. Approximately one week after FIRE's David French sent a letter to SCC, Ms. Campos' free speech rights were restored. SCC also agreed to create a committee to review all of its policies regarding speech.
