A professor has filed a First Amendment lawsuit against the University of Washington (UW), which censored him for disagreeing with the idea that the university campus sits on “occupied land” belonging to a native tribe.

Located in Seattle, UW is one of the many U.S. colleges and universities that promote “land acknowledgment” statements that recognize indigenous peoples as the original owners of the land upon which their campuses are built.
