Coffee Shop Awarded $4 Million After University Targets Them For Pro-Police Messaging
Big City Coffee has been awarded millions after Boise State targeted them for pro-police messaging, as tax-funded universities don't have the right to intimate people for

According to The Post Millennial:
During the dispute, Big City Coffee had multiple locations with one newer spot on BSU’s campus. The fight between the parties began when Fendley displayed a “Thin Blue Line” flag at an off-campus shop location. Her fiancé at the time was a Boise police officer who had been shot in the line of duty in 2016. The Thin Blue Line flag became a point of political tension following the George Floyd riots and protests of 2020. Fendley argued that pressure from university administrators as well as students critical of her support for law enforcement led to her closing the campus location.
Unclear if the school realized they were operating in America but they didn't seem to realize they can't penalize politically incorrect expressions. And the nerve of them to do such a thing when her husband was shot in the line of duty is extremely telling, as they would much rather drive her off campus for wrongthink.
Fendley filed a $10 million legal claim against the university, BSU President Marlene Tromp, Vice President for Equity Initiatives Francisco Salinas, as well as Estey and Webb in 2021, accusing them of causing emotional damages and violating her right to free speech. Ada County District Judge Cynthia Lee-Wallace dismissed the case against BSU, Tromp, and Salinas because of insufficient evidence. However, she allowed the legal battle to proceed with Estey and Webb. Lee-Wallace noted that there were unresolved questions surrounding the two administrators and if they retaliated against Fendley for expressing her views online.
Lawyers for the coffee shop owner argued that Estey and Webb conspired to retaliate against Fendley, forcing the closure of her BSU location shortly after it opened. The two administrators argued the decision to close the shop was the choice of Fendley.
One would hope that a university would be supportive of different viewpoints but the exact opposite is true. I hope this is not how they treat campus police.
Colleges used to be places where people could rationally debate ideas but now they serve as leftist indoctrination camps. And unfortunately for them, that cost the universities millions.
