I’ve just returned from Gowana Middle School, in New York’s Shenendehowa School District. I interviewed students who attempted to speak out against abortion, as part of the national day of silent protest organized by Stand True - Christ Centered Pro-life.
Students ranging from ages 13 to 16 prepared pamphlets, made descriptive T-shirts, and placed duct tape, with the word LIFE written on it, over their mouths.

Man, that has got to hurt when peeling it off at the end of the day.
Stand True baby bump!
LIFE IS WORTH THE EFFORT
...?? .. Hmmm...
I would'nt want older kids to maliciously or needlessly traumatize very young children about the horrors of uh-bore-shun. But, I also wouldn't want to have children / students who know the truth to be hindered from speaking out and thereby continue the silence concerning child murder.
Man, that has got to hurt ...
Yah - they also say uh-bore-shun hurts:

These kids should continue to defend their beliefs defending innocent life and their right to say it.
The federal government opened this can of worms with one sided controversial sex-ed programs forced on our kids in the public schools, and on the parents who object to this intrusion. Now the schools must deal with it!
Solution:Get the federal government out of the public schools all together. It's un-constitutional. State government control of public schools must be re-established per the Constitution. Leave the social teaching up to the parents and get back to teaching the basics in education our kids are sorely lacking in.

After becoming aware of the protest, Principal Jill Bush ordered the kids to turn their T-shirts inside out, and announced over the school’s PA system that those with a brochure had to dispose of it.
Becky Carrubba, a student at Gowana, said that she was told she was “too young to believe in these type of things.” She stood her ground and said that the principal shouldn't say what 8th graders could and could not believe in or for that matter what they should talk about. “I just want people to know that it is wrong to kill a baby, because it is killing, and I think it’s good for them to know at an early age” she
told me.
A student, ... represented by a high-caliber First Amendment
attorney... The complaint claims the 13-year-old wanted to inform other students about Roe vs. Wade, and the effects that the controversial abortion ruling has on students and their generation.
... kids were engaging in the exercise of their First Amendment freedom. In our interview he said “students don’t shed their Constitutional rights at the schoolhouse door, and just because we agree or disagree with particular speech doesn’t give the principal the right to say you can’t talk about it.”
...a federal judge signing off on a settlement ... students will be allowed to wear his pro-life T-shirt and distribute leaflets in the future.
