Despite being massively outnumbered by the left on college campuses, conservatives are racking up legal victories.

TRENDING: Conservatives, Christians Take Campus Battles to Court – And Win

They’ve been ordered not to hand out copies of the U.S. Constitution. They’ve been denied promotions because of their faith. They’ve been forced to help pay for abortion-inducing birth control. They’ve been judged solely by the color of their skin.

And they’re fighting back. And they’re winning.

Conservative and Christian students and professors who have been denied free speech or faced discrimination and religious persecution because of their beliefs have recently enjoyed a string of courthouse victories in what’s amounting to something of a banner year for such causes.

There’s been at least six big legal wins in as many months.

Take University of North Carolina-Wilmington criminology Professor Mike Adams, who was denied a promotion after he became a vocal Christian. Last month, Adams won a retroactive promotion and back pay, as well as $700,000 in legal fees, in a decision that capped off a seven-year court battle.

And then there was Modesto Junior College student Robert Van Tuinen, who was told he could not hand out copies of the constitution – on Constitution Day – by campus administrators. In February, campus leaders agreed to pay Van Tuinen $50,000 and revise its policies as the result of litigation.

Free speech on college campuses also scored an indirect victory in a Supreme Court decision earlier this summer concerning “false statements” in an Ohio congressional race.

As for affirmative action, in Schuette v. Coalition to Defend Affirmative Action, a high court ruling in April effectively signaled that the days of race-based admission preferences in colleges could be numbered, and are definitely vulnerable.

Last month, the high court gave the evangelical Wheaton College the injunction it wanted against the Affordable Care Act’s contraception mandate, setting a national precedent on the matter.

Wheaton was among dozens of Christian and Catholic universities to file suit against the federal mandate, saying they should not be forced to pay for birth control if it violates their religious beliefs. Now the White House is writing new regulations to allow for such exemptions.
