Los Angeles Times: L.A. Community College District’s sexual harassment policy put on hold
Judge orders a preliminary injunction against enforcement after a student files a suit accusing a professor of censoring a classroom speech that included views opposing gay marriage.
Saying it violates students’ free speech rights, a federal judge has barred the Los Angeles Community College District from enforcing a sexual harassment policy that bans “offensive” remarks in and out of the classroom.
U.S. District Judge George H. King granted a preliminary injunction against pressing the policy at the request of Jonathan Lopez, an L.A. City College student who in February filed a suit accusing a professor of censoring his classroom speech about his religious beliefs, including opposition to gay marriage.
