A Michigan State University (MSU) professor has been sued for allegedly forcing her students to pay $99 each to her personal political advocacy organization, which ultimately helped fund Planned Parenthood and other left-leaning causes and allegedly violated the students' free speech rights.
According to a lawsuit filed Thursday, Amy Wisner, professor of marketing at the MSU College of Business compelled each of her 600 students to pay a $99 membership fee to join an outside organization called "The Rebellion Community" as a condition of participation in her course.
The court document says Wisner controlled The Rebellion Community and used the membership fees to finance her own political advocacy and to support external groups like Planned Parenthood and progressive causes dedicated to "dismantling oppressive systems."
According to the lawsuit Wisner linked to a Facebook page associated with "The Rebellion Community" and wrote, "The Rebellion community is a safe place to coordinate our efforts to burn everything to the f***ing ground."
Attorneys at the Alliance Defending Freedom are representing students Nathan Barbieri and Nolan Radomski who say that their money was used by their professor to engage in political speech that is "antithetical to [their] deeply held beliefs," and therefore their First Amendment rights were violated.
"The Constitution protects everyone, both from being compelled to speak themselves and from being compelled to subsidize the speech of people they don't want to promote," ADF Attorney Logan Spena told Fox News Digital in an interview.
"And this professor was simply using her position as a faculty at a university teaching a required course to require hundreds of students to do just that."
