A school in Arizona abruptly has done a 180, deciding now that to hand out copies of the U.S. Constitution actually is all right.
A report from Liberty Justice Center said the state has dropped all claims against former Arizona State student Tim Tizon.
He was arrested and convicted of trespassing earlier for handing out copies of the Constitution to other students at the Tempe campus in March 2022.
He was representing the campus Young Americans for Liberty student group at the time.
He was convicted in the University Lakes Justice Court and ordered to pay a fine and perform community service.
However, the Liberty Justice Center joined his case, filing an appeal on his behalf.
"Rather than defend the obvious violation of Tizon’s First Amendment rights, the state filed a court motion announcing that it would drop the charges, vacating Tizon’s conviction and sentence," the organization confirmed.

"Free speech is the cornerstone of American values," said Tizon, in a statement released by his lawyers. "It is refreshing to see that the Arizona justice system finally recognizes this after more than a year of wrongful prosecution."
JP Kirby, a spokesman for YAL, said, "Arizona State has used its speech and assembly restrictions to harass activists such as Tim for years. ASU officials showed how much more the school values its own bureaucratic processes than the freedom of its students. I'm glad to see the state acknowledge that Tim's rights outweigh the school's desire to prosecute a student trying to share the Constitution with his classmates."
When the case arose, reports said Tizon had set up a table on the school campus while distributing the pamphlets.
He was reportedly told the setup violated the school’s “reservation policy” and that he had to remain in a designated free speech zone located in an isolated part of campus.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Although millions of American parents send their precious children off to public school every day, imagining their kids’ days will be filled with reading, writing, arithmetic, science, history, sports and music, they’re not only in for a shock – but for total BETRAYAL. Today’s “public” (government) schools have become far-left ideological, political and religious indoctrination centers aimed at reprogramming and transforming America’s children.
Kids are being taught to HATE their own country and to see themselves and their parents as racists – or victims of racists. They are sexualized and corrupted, and many are groomed into the dark LGBT world, with almost 6,000 schools prohibiting parents from even hearing about their child’s transgender “transition.” In between all the far-left indoctrination and sexual corruption, teachers take time to scare children to death about the near-term end of life on earth due to “catastrophic climate change.” Another lie. But it’s all classic Marxism/communism, with even the “3 R’s” – reading, writing and arithmetic – now being corrupted with “woke,” “1984”-style madness.
Perhaps never has the true threat of today’s U.S. public school system been exposed as in the sensational April issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, titled “THE GREATEST BETRAYAL: How Marxism and madness have taken over America’s public school system.” Whistleblower is available in both the popular print edition and a state-of-the-art digital version, either single issues or discounted annual subscriptions.
