Preacher Who Called Students "Sluts," "Whores," and "Fags" Reimbursed Attorney Fees
Via Fox News, hat tip Right Reverend Rabbi Judah
The University of Arkansas will have to pay $33,120 in attorneys fees to a preacher who sued the school over alleged free speech violations [...]Bowman, of Cherokee County, Okla., sued the university in October 2003, saying the school policy of allowing him only five days to preach on campus was illegal [...]
While on campus, Bowman preached outside the Student Union. Witnesses in a trial on his lawsuit said Bowman had called students "sluts," "whores," and "fags" and told them they were going to hell because they participated in fraternities and sororities.
Bowman preached on the Fayetteville campus twice in 1998 and returned to the school in 2000. By then, the university had imposed restrictions on when non-university entities could use school facilities, including spaces traditionally regarded as public forums.
