From the Alliance Defense Fund:
PADUCAH, Ky. — Attorneys with the Alliance Defense Fund have filed suit in federal court on behalf of a Christian prevented from exercising his free speech rights on the campus of Murray State University. School officials barred James Gilles, a frequent speaker on the campus since the 1980s, from speaking and distributing literature on campus due to university “policy.”
“Christians seeking to express their faith in public should not be treated as second-class citizens,” said ADF Senior Counsel Nate Kellum. “Officials at MSU violated Mr. Gilles’ constitutional rights by suddenly choosing to enforce a discriminatory policy.”
Gilles, who speaks and distributes literature on campuses across the country, utilized public areas on MSU’s campus for approximately two decades before the director of the school’s Curris Center for Student Life informed him in 2004 that speakers were required to secure a “sponsorship” in order to continue their free speech activities.
The same official initially made an offer to sponsor Gilles so that he could distribute literature but not speak on campus. Gilles declined, and the offer was later rescinded. The school later barred Gilles from speaking or distributing literature at the school because he didn’t have a sponsorship.

other treats to buy and stuff to do at the farm stand like picking
pumpkins, trying fresh-made apple cider, the corn maze, etc.

Tower on Curl Drive. If you don't have a car, don't worry! Rides will
be provided. If you could drive then great!
