MEMORANDUM OF DECISION

URBOM, District Judge.

"Hail Mary" is a movie depicting the birth of Jesus Christ in a contemporary setting. It was chosen, scheduled and advertised for showing at the Sheldon Film Theater, a state-operated art theater on the University of Nebraska campus. The showing was canceled because of its controversial content, and the issue now is whether the cancellation has denied the plaintiffs a constitutional right to see the film.
