The leftist judiciary will come up with anything to protect infanticide!

This isn't even an abortion matter. This is trampling free speech yet again.

If she was handing out an instruction DVD showing how to put a condom on a cucumber, she'd be awarded with a school parade and the "student of the year" award.

Well, he did say they wouldnt let the pro-abortion groups hand out anything either. So I guess its fair at least.
To: wagglebee
It's a school. They should be there to learn, not to debate.

I guess the pro-sticking-scissors-into-the-skulls-of-unborn-kids crowd didn't feel they could counter with progagnda as strong.
Perhaps they could discuss those mythical "victims of back-alley abortions" from the "bad old days" when mothers weren't allowed to kill their own children.

So this judge said the policy that prohibits the girl from handing out pamphlets is unconsitutional, but the judge still prohibited her from doing it?
I'm so confused.

It's a public school. The 1st Amend guarantee of free speech applies.

Killing babies and gay marriage are the two sacraments of the Left. They believe in them with religious fervor.

Killing babies and gay marriage are the two sacraments of the Left. They have recently added involuntary starvation and dehydration of the infirmed to that list.

Weird, eh? It's a school....and there'll be no critical thinking goin' on in here!

Exactly. The issuing of pamphlets on such a debated topic would result in substantial disruption of education on the campus. There's plenty of case law to support this decision.
To: wagglebee
This is the appropriate result, in my opinion, according to supreme court jurisprudence. As long as it's a blanket prohibition on distributing any and all pamphlets, that's a content neutral restriction on free speech. Additionally, schools have been held by the Court to not be public forums for speech, since restricting speech there can serve an important government interest (you know...kids learning to spell).
Just a comment on the jurisprudence...nothing more...
