national Christian law group sued a suburban school district on free-speech grounds, saying the district censors prayer club members and threatens discipline if students speak out against homosexuality.

The federal lawsuit against the Downingtown Area School District mirrors others filed by the Alliance Defense Fund that accuse schools of implementing "Orwellian speech code(s)."

The Arizona-based group also sued the Georgia Institute of Technology this week over anti-gay speech, and has previously tried to block gay marriage laws, anti-discrimination policies and workplace diversity training.

In the latest suit, the alliance said Downingtown schools improperly forced a student group to drop explicitly Christian or Scriptural references from its literature, and to meet as the "Prayer Club" instead of the preferred "Bible Club."

1. I see the bigots get bolder and bolder

This is a very disturbing trend.
I hope we can stop it.

2. These folks are nuts

I love how they believe their "rights" are being violated because they cannot encroach upon other people's rights. Absolute insanity. The world is crazy.

4. Your rights

I passed by a Pro Life demonstration years ago when taking my small daughter to the doctor. One man stopped me, smiled at my daughter, and handed me a flier about March for Life. I took the flier and ripped it up in his face. The man stood frozen and said nothing to me.

I suggest that the students on this campus do the same with this hate literature. They may have a right to hand it out, but you have a right to do whatever you want with it; not accept it, rip it up, or throw it away.

5. True

I just can't follow the logic of these folks... prolly cause it isn't logical.

6. No doubt

If some group were to hand out "tracts" denouncing the groups that hand out the hate literature as bigots and hate-mongers they'd run around screaming about "anti-Christian persecution". :eyes:

7. I'd say the correct response would be to . . .

pass out antifundamentalist Christian literature. There's tons of the stuff pointing out the errors of a literal interpretation of the Bible, etc. The one thing these people hate the MOST is being laughed at or made fun of.
