Well, he did say they wouldnt let the pro-abortion groups hand out anything either. So I guess its fair at least.With this in mind I propose an experiment. Two kids on either side of the school building. One handing out pro-abortion leaflets and the other anti-abortion leaflets. Both leaflets are worded nearly the same. Let's see which one gets hassled.

"Debate was an accredited course at the High School I went to."
And if this was part of the class, I'd applaud her. As it is, it's inappropriate just as a student handing out pro-abortion leaflets on school property would be.
I trust none of her supporters now will complain the next time a Leftist starts passing out their flyers in school....

Most schools have a debating team, and it is considered an honor to be on some schools debating teams... Maybe football is a more important institution at most schools and is part of the learning process. Well if she was doing this on a debate team then there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. However, from my understanding she was handing the pamphlets out in the classrooms and in the hallways. I could be wrong.
Again, football is an extracuricular activity. Therefore I think that if she wants to inform people about abortion it should be done outside of school. School isn't the proper forum to be doing so unless it is on a debate team or in health class.

Unless of course you count the pro-death curriculum taught in the classrooms.
I don't recall learning anything "pro-death" in school. What are you referring to?

You're theoretically right about the potential for distraction - but it wouldn't surprise me a bit to discover that the topic had already come up, either in discussions amongst students, during health class, etc., and that the pamphleting may have been a rebuttal, rather than "first blood". Sheer speculation, I know.
