A group of Los Angeles community colleges abolished “free speech zones” after a student filed a lawsuit because his college prohibited him from passing out copies of the U.S. Constitution.

Kevin Shaw managed to get the school group to settle the lawsuit. The Los Angeles Community College District and its nine schools will abolish the free speech zones, Fox News reported. The zone at Pierce College, where Shaw attended, measured only 616 square feet.
