Case Overview
closed
At Century College in Minnesota, a professor faced repeated obstruction and opposition when she attempted to display the controversial Mohammed cartoons on a bulletin board. After repeatedly encountering censorship of her display, Professor Karen Murdock finally posted them behind a curtain so that passers-by would not be offended. Yet even after assuring Murdock and ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵAPP¹ÙÍø that free speech is valued at Century, administrators allowed censors to tear down the hidden cartoons and insisted that she not put them back up.
