Can they hand out pencils that say "Islam means peace"?

Nope. That's the point.

Let'em pass out "Islam means peace" pencils - it ought to open a discussion about the topic. It's called free speech.

I wouldn't bet the ranch on your answer.

In New York City a few years ago, public schools set aside special rooms for Muslim students to pray in during the school day. Muslim students were excused from class so they could pray at their appointed times. The schools also prepared special meals for them.

As far as I know, there has been no legal challenge to this taxpayer funded special treatment for Muslims, so it's likely still going on.

Bet you it's perfectly OK for Muslim kids in NYC to hand out 'Islam means peace' pencils in NYC public schools.
