Jack Denton reinstated in First Amendment win

ALLAHASSEE, Fla. (ChurchMilitant.com) - A Florida State University (FSU) Catholic student unjustly removed as president of the student senate has been reinstated.

On Monday, Jack Denton was reinstalled to his post as president of the Student Government Association Senate by the FSU Supreme Court. Denton, a political science major, was voted out of office in June owing to comments he made in support of Church teaching in a private Catholic chat room. He reportedly expressed concern that the positions of groups like Black Lives Matter and the American Civil Liberties Union contradict Church teaching.

In an exchange with his lawyer, the 21-year-old student said: "I had never imagined in a hundred years that ... just expressing my Catholic faith would cause such a backlash."

His reasoning: "When students walk on campus they don't forfeit their freedom of speech, their freedom of religion. If students can't express their faiths on campus or in private without fear of losing their jobs or reputation, then freedom of speech and freedom of religion have no meaning," he said.

Ruling Cites 'Personal Convictions'

In the 19-page document, the university court states:

We hereby hold in favor of Plaintiff and grant the relief requested in the form of a declaratory judgment that the Senate's June 5th vote of no-confidence removing Plaintiff as Senate President violated his Constitutional rights under the First Amendment; and a writ of mandamus ordering his reinstatement as Senate President.

"All students should be able to peacefully share their personal convictions without fear of retaliation," said Denton's lawyer, Tyson Langhofer, according to the Tallahassee Democrat.

Wow. Was not expecting this.

There’s an FSU Supreme Court?

Wow. This is a great day for Christians everywhere. However, please keep in mind that it took a massive lawsuit against the losers at FSU to sustain his legal and civil rights.

FSU is still an evil organization, given the fact they gave this Christian student ZERO rights to appeal and ZERO due process. Had he not filed a massive lawsuit, he would have remained completely shut out of his Constitutionally protected rights to speech and religious beliefs.

So once again, we see the only way to see one receive due process and fairness at the Satanic halls of academia is through massive legal action.

PS....FSU, FU!!!!!
