No, it doesn't. Children don't have all the same legal rights as adults do.

If the school doesn't let kids hand out pro-abortion info, then they're perfectly right to not let her hand out info.

She's there to learn, not agitate. If she was wanting to hand out pro-abortion leaflets we'd be all over her, her parents and the school for allowing it. Time for a little consistency.

"Children don't have all the same legal rights as adults do."

Irrelevant since this isn't the splantation and the students are not the school's property. The 1st Amend. applies, because the speech engaged in does have as it's core, questions, facts and answers regarding fundamental moral principles and concepts of right and wrong. If you think the school district and it's employees have sole rightful possession of what may and may not be thought and discussed by it's students, you are wrong. This is the US and it's principles and rights are to be taught and extended to all. The judge in this case feigned fairness and gave the matter up to the pro-aborts that occupy the seats of power in the schools.

"She's there to learn, not agitate."

If advocating moral behavior is agitation to you, then so be it. Being that we're just a few hours from comemorating an act agitating the king, I can only wish this girl the best of luck and my promise to stand by her efforts.

"If she was wanting to hand out pro-abortion leaflets we'd be all over her, her parents and the school for allowing it."

I wouldn't and the Constitution doesn't permit it. As above and as this girl did in her school, the rubbish should be countered with the truth.
