Professor Wright Cited in Washington Post
03/18/2019
A man was arrested on a misdemeanor charge after projecting the words "discrimination is wrong" onto the Rayburn House Office Building in Washington, D.C. The building is part of the Capitol Ground, and protected by U.S. Capitol Police, who said that the man was in an area where demonstrations are not allowed, and that projecting onto buildings is barred. Professor R. George Wright, '82, talked with reporters from the Washington Post about the avenues the court may consider as the case makes its way through the judicial system.
The projections "aren't doing any physical damage or permanently affecting the people. It's just photons that bounce off. If I switch off the machine, it's as if nothing happened," Professor Wright said in the story.
Professor Wright is the Lawrence A. Jegen III Professor of Law. He teaches constitutional law, administrative law, and jurisprudence at IU McKinney.
