...these citizens say their role as gadflies is necessary for sustaining democracy in Cambridge. Council meetings are broadcast on Cambridge Community Television, and the entirety of public comment is preserved in official records.

If the UC’s resources must only be used for benefit of the entire student body, it cannot fund groups that discriminate...
