Article SB 294: Student Protests Under Attack

The Louisiana state senate made news back in June for passing SB 294, a bill that “Confirms the protections of free speech and First Amendment protected activities on college and university campuses.” 

While this act, proposed by Denham Spring’s Sen. Valerie Hodges (R), parades as a victory for Louisianian’s First Amendment rights, certain clauses within the bill limit the ways in which Louisiana students can protest on college campuses.
