Student Sues UMN Over Speech Policies | US News
Description
A Minnesota student is suing his university over Title IX and pronoun policies he claims suppress free speech, forcing students to self-censor on gender, biology, and sports—fearing punishment for expressing views like “there are only two sexes” or questioning transgender athletes. The lawsuit argues these vague rules create a chilling effect, even without harsh penalties, and threaten student groups’ ability to host speakers on sensitive topics. The plaintiffs seek just $1 and a court order to rewrite the policies, ensuring students can speak freely without fear of retaliation.
