Lawsuit ends; anti-Israel ad still barred from bus
ANN ARBOR (AP) -- A lawsuit over the Ann Arbor bus system's refusal to run an anti-Israel ad is finished.
AnnArbor.com recently reported that the ad still won't run but the bus agency agreed to pay some legal fees to the American Civil Liberties Union.
The ad by Blaine Coleman would have skulls and bones and say, "Boycott 'Israel.' Boycott Apartheid." A federal judge last year said the Ann Arbor Transportation Authority's policy against certain ads was vague and unconstitutional.
The bus agency has revised its policy but still won't accept the ad. Judge Mark Goldsmith says that's legal.
The ACLU says it filed the lawsuit because it believed Coleman's free-speech rights were being violated.
