International Society for Krishna Consciousness, Inc. v. Lee (1991)
- Docket
- 91-155
- Decided
- 1991-01-01
Summary
Question: Does the regulation violate the First Amendment free speech clause? Conclusion: No. An airport terminal is not a public forum. The regulation banning such activity need only satisfy a reasonableness standard. The regulation is reasonable. Solicitators may slow the path of possible contributors, cause duress or commit fraud. Therefore, the regulation is permissible. In a related case, the Court held invalid the airport authority's ban on literature distribution in airport terminals.
