Talk to the cops. The Principal asked the men, personally, to get off of school property and thought they were selling "bobble heads" for the super bowl. The original complainer said "Bible Heads" and Mrs. Martinson misunderstood the message relayed to her by a middle man (you just can't make that up - its almost humorous!) They assured her they would. When she left, they went right back on. Only later did she find out what was actually being passed out. Even if she actually had known, she did what was right to protect the students and to keep the darn traffic from being an even bigger mess than usual. I am sorry if the simplicity of this is too much for you. I am sure you'll come back at me with some intricate constitutional info. but this situation was just a blip on anyone's radar until extremists like you got wind of it.

All your "know it all" crap does not impress me. You were not here and do not know anyone involved. I would never presume to know anything about a situation from a stupid Internet site. Let me leave you with a term you might have to run to your history books for - duh!!

The suppression of individual freedom is not a "blip on the radar." As for extremists, I like to remember Barry Goldwater's line in his 1964 speech accepting the GOP presidential nomination, "Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice." To paraphrase Patrick Henry, if this be extremism, make the most of it.

stupid Internet site

I would rather get my information from Free Republic and World Net Daily than the Miami Herald and the local network affiliates, which regurgitate the standard liberal nonsense.

In fact, thanks to the Internet and talk radio, it has been more difficult to hide unjust actions than in the past. Were it not for such sources, the Dubai ports deal would have been passed, the Duke lacrosse players would be serving time in a heavily black North Carolina prison, Harriet Miers would be serving on the Supreme Court instead of Samuel Alito, the anti-homosexual protesters at a Philadelphia "gay rights" parade would have been sentenced to a fine and jail times, etc. There is no longer a near monopoly on public information, and local bullies may suffer from exposure than was the case in the past.

Sorry if the local honchos in Key Largo cannot get away with bullying Gideons exercising their Constitutional rights. They can cry in their martinis at the country club if they wish, but they will get no sympathy from Americans who know and will defend the principles upon which this nation was founded.
