A federal judge has issued a preliminary injunction against a California college’s speech code that it had used to justify censoring anti-communist posters generated by conservative students.

The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) won the court order in its lawsuit against the school, Clovis Community College in Fresno, on behalf of three students from a campus chapter of Young Americans for Freedom (YAF) who wanted to criticize authoritarianism.
