NORMAL – State Rep. Dan Brady (R-Bloomington) is in contact with the administration at Illinois State University after he was informed by a constituent of a possible free speech violation.
A parent informed Brady a group of students were told by an ISU staff member they’d be kicked out of the Central Catholic High School girls basketball game inside Redbird Arena if they continued wearing President Trump apparel.
“(I) intend to have a little follow up regarding that,” said Brady. “Certainly, we want to be respective of free speech. We want to abide by rules. But, on the other hand, free speech is very concerning here.”
Central Catholic was playing in the girls IHSA Class 2A state tournament.
Brady believed the issue is moving in the right direction. A message has been left with ISU’s administration seeking comment.
