A Christian art student is suing an Illinois college, claiming the school censored her conservative views after complaints from classmates.

"I was alarmed when I had received three no-contact orders that prevented me from having direct or indirect communication with these three students. Essentially, they were restraining orders that applied to on and off-campus," graduate student Maggie Dejong said on "Fox & Friends First" Friday alongside Tyson Langhoffer, senior counsel for Alliance Defending Freedom. 

Dejong said at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, she routinely participated in classroom discussions on contentious issues such as race relations and religion, often expressing a conservative viewpoint.

Near the end of her three-year graduate program, Dejong was hit with a no-contact order pertaining to three of her classmates who had objected to her social media posts on abortion and the police. 

Langhoffer said Dejong "never violated any university policy." 

"Yet the university issued no-contact orders against her, prohibiting her from fully participating in classes, including discussions about race relations and the police, simply because they deemed her or her beliefs as unwelcome," he told host Ashley Strohmier.
