The Department of Justice sided with college students reprimanded for promoting free speech by slamming Jones County Junior College’s “Orwellian,” “draconian,” and “unconstitutional” treatment of them in a Statement of Interest filed on Monday. The DOJ made explicitly clear that public colleges cannot “trample” on their students’ First Amendment rights.

In a news release from the DOJ announcing the Statement of Interest filing, Assistant Attorney General Eric Dreiband for the Civil Rights Division clearly stated, “Repressive speech codes are the indecent hallmark of despotic, totalitarian regimes. They have absolutely no place in our country, and the First Amendment outlaws all tyrannical policies, practices, and acts that abridge the freedom of speech.”

The DOJ filed the Statement of Interest in a federal civil lawsuit in Mississippi, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 517. The federal code authorizes the Attorney General to send his officers “to any…district in the United States to attend to the interests of the United States in a suit pending in a court of the United States.” According to the filing, the DOJ intervened in the civil suit because the United States has a strong interest in “ensuring that the First Amendment freedoms to speak and assemble are recognized by public institutions of higher education.”
