Without any warning, administrators handed down no-contact orders prohibiting three CLS members from having any contact with another student. These orders were unconstitutional, so the students reached out to Alliance Defending Freedom for help.But the law school didn’t back down — it DOUBLED DOWN, slapping Professor Seamon with a no-contact order as well.Watch to learn more about what ADF is doing to protect free speech and religious freedom throughout the country.You can watch more videos like this and learn how you can stand for freedom at https://ADFLegal.org/Freedom-Matters.
