A second-year law student at Virginia's Regent University says school officials have threatened to discipline him for posting an unflattering photo of founder Pat Robertson on his Facebook page. Adam M. Key said officials at the private Christian university demanded that he either publicly apologize and withhold public comment about the matter, or submit to the law school dean a legal brief defending the posting. Key chose the latter, arguing that his posting was satire protected under the First Amendment.

A Regent University law student says school officials have threatened to discipline him for posting an unflattering photo of founder Pat Robertson on his Facebook page.
Adam M. Key, 23, posted a picture of Regent’s founder and president making what appears to be an obscene gesture on the social networking Web site. Key copied it from a YouTube video in which Robertson scratches his face with his middle finger.
