High School Censors Pro-Life Club, Bans the Word ‘Abortion’
Breitbart ^ | December 17, 2016 | Tom Ciccotta

Posted on 12/18/2016 4:53:12 AM PST by kevcol

The conservative legal group Liberty Counsel is claiming that the public school district violated the Constitution by censoring the anti-abortion student group’s poster. The poster, which took over 25 hours to make, included hand-painted hearts and the phrase “3,000 Lives Are Ended Each Day.”

Administrators also asked the students to refrain from using the word, “abortion,” in club material, in written or oral communications, or on social media. Administrators even went as far as asking students from the club to sign an agreement that would bar them from seeking legal assistance to protect their right to express themselves.

Oh look - this school also got a "greenie award" from Obama's Dept of indoctrin Education



I wonder if the global warming club has to sign a legal agreement forfeiting their first amendment rights?

Just following the lead of the leading abortion-rights group NARAL, who no longer deigns to use the word in its own name. One would think that a group unconditionally committed to abortion as a "right" under any circumstances whatsoever would be a bit more bold in the use of the word itself.

It’s admittedly difficult to be patient, but we’ve waited eight years - we can wait another month or so.

Meanwhile, exult in the fact that we no longer have to contemplate a painful suicide due to a hillary win and four more years of corrupt, inside-the-beltway Washington status quo and an intensifying Leftward march...

We dodged a real bullet there, and there’s a lot to be happy about.

Right? Just the notion of banning a word rubs me the wrong way. Conjures up Soviet style censorship.

Thought/speech police. Funny though, certain words have been shunned from the American lexicon, but many once taboo behaviors have become acceptable as normal lifestyles.

Crazy crazy stuff.

Yes, we know only too well that we must never, never, never use the word ‘homosexual’ - even though homosexual life is anything but gay.

If we’re not to use the word ‘abortion,’ it follows that the words ‘human life’ will be banned next.

We should have been using “infanticide” from the start anyway...

Maybe its OK that they don’t use the word Abortion, they can use “mutilate defenseless pre-born child like throwing meat scrapes down a garbage disposal”. Its wordier, but it gets the point across.

Ignore the school and seek legal counsel. The school admin coerced them into signing a document that said no legal counsel.

I assume that 24 of the hours were spent arguing over what the poster would look like.
