One of the country's largest Muslim advocacy organizations is involved in suing University of Missouri System President Mun Choi for free speech infringement.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations held a press conference Wednesday to announce the lawsuit, which centers on Choi's decision to bar the Mizzou Students for Justice in Palestine from participating in last year's homecoming parade.

Staff attorney Ahmed Kaki argued that Choi's exclusion of the student group violated their free speech rights.

"Dr. Choi did not involve himself in any other application except for MSJPs," Kaki said. "Public universities cannot open events for the public for expression, like they did with the homecoming parade, then filter which viewpoints they want expressed at these events."
