Well, he did say they wouldnt let the pro-abortion groups hand out anything either. So I guess its fair at least.

Unless of course you count the pro-death curriculum taught in the classrooms.

My school (a technology college) has a policy (don't know if it's written or common sense), of no discussions regarding religion, sex, and politics. I'm OK with that in that it's just distracting from the main purpose of being there, which is to learn.

In high schools, however, I have mixed feelings, since academia seems to lean way too far to the left...

The school faculty handles the pro abort mat'l. He didn't address that. I'm sure she was well aware of that when she composed her rubbish.

You said: Well, he did say they wouldnt let the pro-abortion groups hand out anything either. So I guess its fair at least.

That was my thought also, at first. But on further consideration, this is an illegal infringement on speech because it is content-based. It would only be valid if NO one can hand out ANY kind of material of any content. No fund-raising brochures, no class ring materials, etc. You simply cannot restrict speech based upon its content unless the speech is obscene. The only "out" might be the in loco parentis status of schools.

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.
