The Buckeye Institute Files Amicus Brief in Tennessee First Amendment Case

The Buckeye Institute has filed a new amicus brief with the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit in the case Thomas v. Schroer, arguing that it is a violation of the First Amendment for the government to discriminate against outdoor advertisements and signs based on the sign’s message. “While we all enjoy a scenic drive and beautiful roadways, the First Amendment is even more precious to Americans and its protections must not be violated in the name of highway beautification.”
