On April 23, the Sixth Circuit issued this opinion in McGlone v Bell, 10-6055. The issue was whether the plaintiff, a Christian who wanted to speak to students on a public college campus, could be barred if he didn’t apply fourteen days in advance before entering the campus. The Sixth Circuit also cast some doubt on the school’s policy that requires the speaker to identify himself or herself and explain the purpose and type of his speech. The latter issue was remanded back to the U.S. District Court for further inquiry.

The college is the Tennessee Technological University, in Cookeville, Tennessee. The decision will be helpful to petitioners throughout the states of the Sixth Circuit, which are Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio, and Michigan.
