More than 50 students will be displaying large, graphic abortion photos and prenatal images at the University of North Florida on Monday, according to Created Equal, a pro-life activist group.
They say that this will be just one of the stops throughout Florida on Created Equal’s Justice Ride, a week-long event.
"At other colleges, we have faced problems with administration attempting to censor our content, police takings down our signs and violating our free speech rights, crowds of protestors, students stealing and vandalizing signs, our signs being thrown in the trash, and more," Created Equal says. "Our display has garnered national and local media".
The displays will be up from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Events such as assemblies, the exercise of free speech, protests, demonstrations, marches, and picketing are protected under the First Amendment and called “Expressive Activities,” according to UNF's Policies and Regulations.
The university's policy states:
"Freedoms of speech, expression and assembly are basic and essential freedoms that the University strives to protect.
However, these personal freedoms are subject to well-established rights of the University to regulate time, place, and manner so that the activities do not materially and substantially disrupt the academic programs and administrative processes of the University."
