The Justice Department on Monday issued a statement of interest in support of a former college student, who sued his school over speech codes denying students their First Amendment rights on campus.

Mike Brown, with the conservative student group Young Americans for Liberty, filed a lawsuit this September against Jones County Junior College (JCJC) in Ellisville, Mississippi, on the ground of First Amendment.
