POLICE SHUT DOWN CONTRACTED EVENT ABOUT CONSTITUTION AFTER CAIR COMPLAINT – IS FREE SPEECH STILL A PROTECTED RIGHT IN AMERICA?

Written by K. Michael Card on 01 May 2012

ANN ARBOR, MI – It seems reasonable to conclude that an event promoting the Constitution, and the idea that American laws should be the only laws recognized in American courts, would be a welcomed event at a public school. The event entitled: “Constituting Michigan – Founding Principles Act” took place on January 26, 2012 at an Allegan High School auditorium which had been rented by Willis Sage.

Not according to a press release by the Thomas More Law Center released today on their website:

Amid shouts of “What about free speech?” from the audience, the Allegan Police Department ordered the event shut-down. School officials notified police that they had received a letter complaining about the event from Dawud Walid, Executive Director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-MI). The letter asked the school to disallow the event despite an existing contract.

Police have given conflicting reports to the reason that they shut down the event,  but school officials had stated, while evicting the event, that it was a direct result of the complaint received by the school from a CAIR representative.

As a result, the firm filed a civil lawsuit against Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR- MI), its Executive Director, the City of Allegan, the Allegan Police Department and the School District alleging civil rights violations.

CAIR isn’t without controversy; once named an unindicted co-conspirator in the largest terrorism funding trial in U. S. history, U.S. v. Holy Land Foundation.

We recently reported on the influence CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood had within the media and the current administration; but what’s shocking is the extent that public officials will go to pacify these groups in order to avoid being called out.

This is just the latest of several Constitutional challenges that the Thomas More Law Center has taken on including the Bradley Johnson v. Poway School District in California which we reported on in September of last year.

Commentary: America, our freedoms are not being eroded that are being taken by hostile force. It is necessary to vigilantly protect Liberty and the Constitution and refuse to let go of the Founder’s vision for America!
