STATEMENT IN SUPPORT OF LAUREN GIACCONE AND BRIAN KELLY

This is to support Lauren Giaccone and Brian Kelly in their struggle for free speech at their school, Pace University. Pace, any school, has a responsibility to create a space in which all kinds of ideas are encouraged and expressed, a hallowed hall for the First Amendment. This is especially true in times of profound social conflict when spaces for free speech are especially precious. Pace needs to apologize to Ms. Giaccone and Mr. Kelly for raising regulatory concerns that do not apply to the situation at hand.
