Well, I'm not sure that the school cannot block distribution on non-school-sponsored publications. Many do have such rules.

Now, here's the thing: Suppose this conservative paper gets to distribute on campus. That would instantly mean that any other student-published publication could also be distributed in the same way. Any other student-published publication. Let's see what publications might crop up:

The GLBT Times
The Pro-Choice News
Muslim Student's Gazette
The Liberal Post

The reason that some schools prohibit distribution of all student-published, but not school-sponsored publications is that, once the door is opened, any group of students can distribute whatever publications they wish.

Hopefully a school would recognize that the First Amendment applies to all interest groups. Pro-choice groups have every right to print non-libelous material and distribute it in school, whether or not it is recognized by the school or the state. Yes, MineralMan, you're right - many do have such rules. Such rules are wrong and should be repealed. The First Amendment applies to Nazis and Communists as well as the rest of us. You do not protect freedom by limiting it.
The bottom line is this: Whitney has the right to publish his paper, regardless of his opinions. Be a patriot and call the school.

So let the queers and muzzies print their own broadsheet. Let the marketplace of ideas flourish. That's why conservatism is seeing a re-birth--our ideas only gain more credence when held up against the left's drivel.

And that's a problem because....?
