Question:
Campion is a firm that provides psychological services to police departments. The City of Minneapolis terminated its contract with Campion and entered into a new contract with Detrick. Campion contends that it is because it is affiliated with the Illinois Family Institute, an organization that happens to have conservative perspectives on issues such as marriage, abortion, homosexuality, and stem cell research. Campion filed a claim against the City of Minneapolis (a public entity) claiming that the termination violated its First Amendment freedom of association. Is the firm’s contract protected under the First Amendment? What would the firm have to demonstrate in order to prove a prima facie case here?
