Students at Washington and Lee University in Virginia are BANNED from passing out flyers for Republican gubernatorial

[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] During an annual fair at Washington & Lee University College Republicans displayed campaign materials in support of Glenn Youngkin

But the club was told by Director of Student Activities Kelsey Goodwin that their display violated university policy and to remove all endorsement material

Goodwin said because the university is a tax-exempt organization, the school could not endorse political figures

While the university itself cannot endorse a candidate, students at the school are free to because they speak for themselves and not the school they attend

Student's free speech has no effect on the university's tax-exempt status, so there is no rationale behind stopping students from handing out campaign flyers

The College Republicans were backing Virginia gubernatorial candidate Glenn Youngkin, who is now tied with opponent Terry McAuliffe

#2 Guess they haven't taken notice that the courts have removed qualified immunity to other university employees for violating student rights. I expect FIRE to be communicating with the university's lawyers.
