The school has an absolute right to regulate what is published in its vicinity. Freedom of speech isn't freedom to use anothers printing presses.

Search the archives and you get this. Funny how the left things that's ok!

Looks like schools should put the crackdown on praying, mention of god, or any religous marks/ symbols also.

There are a couple of Supreme Court precedents on this issue;
1.Hazelwood School District v. Kuhlmeier
The Supreme Court held that a school sponsored newspaper could be censored if school officials demonstrated a reasonable educational justification and where their censorship was viewpoint neutral.
2. Rosenberger v. University of Virginia
The Supreme Court ruled that the university violated its neutrality in regard to the First Amendment's Free Speech Clause and Establishment Clause. The University of Virginia had prohibited funding for the student religious newspaper based upon the paper's viewpoint.

Since this case is so similar to the Kuhlmeier v. Hazelwood I'd assume that the school is completely within its rights to censor the school newspaper no matter how wrong I think it is.

Of course many pictures of 'abortions' are actually not abortions at all, but simply dead fetuses that happen to look quite disgusting and are considered 'effective' images. This is called lying.

But either way, they can deal with those pictures; I would trade circulating that sort of propaganda for disseminating real information about birth control and STDs any day.

Consider it whatever you want. Freedom of speech includes freedom to lie.

Guess Bush can use that in his defense.

"I lied to the people because the Consitution protects my right to lie."

or maybe...

"I lied about receiving underhanded cash from corporations because the Constitution protects my right to lie."

or maybe...

"I lied about my intellegence because I feel that the Consititution should protect stupid people"

And maybe finally the right would lay off clinton about lying about having a BJ...
