Supreme Court Unanimously Upholds Church’s Right to Post Road Signs
The U.S. Supreme Court unanimously ruled in favor of a church’s right to post roadside signs where other signs are allowed.
The town of Gilbert, Arizona’s restrictions on Good News Community Church’s signs advertising church events violated freedom of speech because they were “content-based regulations of speech,” Justice Clarence Thomas wrote on behalf of all nine justices.
Senior Counsel David Cortman says, “The Supreme Court’s unanimous ruling is a victory for everyone’s freedom of speech. Speech discrimination is wrong regardless of whether the government intended to violate the First Amendment or not, and it doesn’t matter if the government thinks its discrimination was well-intended,” he said. “It’s still government playing favorites, and that’s unconstitutional.”
