Gun Girl from my Alma Mater wins Lawsuit Round 1 against Kent State.
Gun Girl from my Alma Mater wins Lawsuit Round 1 against Kent State. Remember Kaitlin Bennett from Kent State? She’s the girl who graduated earlier this year and posed with an AR-10 to make a point about the school’s anti-gun policy. Well, she has won her first round in a suit against the university over its gun policies that allow a non-student to open carry but not students. She was set to speak but KSU wanted to charge her group for security against the expected protests.
A federal judge in Akron refused to make the group she founded pay for security to defend against protesters of her speech. On Tuesday a federal judge stopped Kent State from charging the group the security fee and the meeting went ahead, with Kaitlin Bennett as the speaker, on Monday night.
The judge, John Adams, said he was “gravely concerned” that the school’s policy might infringe on Bennett’s and the group’s First Amendment rights by using Bennett’s past history of pro-gun activism to determine whether or not she would be allowed to speak. Adams added, “We can’t allow protestors to shift the [financial] burden to the speaker and her organization.”
He issued the temporary order until a full hearing on the matter takes place in early December.
