A Christian student is suing a college in Georgia for allegedly violating his free speech rights by severely limiting his preaching on campus.
Chike Uzuegbunam filed a complaint on Monday against officials with Georgia Gwinnett College in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, Atlanta Division.

The United States Supreme Court will soon decide whether a college that ordered a Christian student to cease preaching on campus can be punished even though the administration has since changed the institution s free speech policies.
Uzuegbunam v. Preczewski, which is centered on George Gwinnett College’s treatment of student Chike Uzuegbunam.
Gwinnett punished Uzuegbunam for preaching outside of an on-campus free speech zone, prompting the student to file a lawsuit which resulted in Gwinnett changing its policies.
