Herbivore sues Mizzou for allegedly violating new free speech law

Herbivore sues Mizzou for allegedly violating new free speech law: "
Mizzou is being sued by an animal rights activist who is claiming that the university violated his First Amendment rights by preventing him from handing out literature on campus.
Richard Hershey claims that campus police detained him for 45 minutes when he refused to leave, and that the prosecuting attorney refused the charge of first-degree trespassing.
Missouri's Campus Free Expression Act forbids public colleges and universities from maintaining speech restrictions such as "free speech zones" on campus."
