The Department of Justice is throwing its weight behind two conservative college groups that are suing the University of California at Berkeley for impeding conservative speakers from appearing on campus.
The DOJ filed a statement of interest to urge the court to hear the lawsuit, arguing that the plaintiffs, Young America’s Foundation (YAF) and the Berkeley College Republicans (BCR), had made a proper plea in April 2017 and the federal government was taking an interest because it “has a significant interest in the vigilant protection of constitutional freedoms in institutions of higher learning.”
