| subject: | Court keeps pro-life literature distribution at Michigan school |
From: "J Young" How dare anyone or any institution try to suppress this young man's First Amendment rights! Thank God that this judge was such a wise and insightful man; who knows how many lives are being saved by his ruling? http://www.onenewsnow.com/2007/03/court_keeps_pro-life_literature_distrbution_a t_michigan_school.php A permanent injunction from a federal court judge in Michigan will affirm the right of a Jefferson Middle School student and any other pro-life students like him to hand out literature promoting that cause in the school. On Monday Judge Victoria Roberts ruled in a case that centered around student Michael Amble-Lucas. According to attorney Byron Babione of plaintiff counsel Alliance Defense Fund, Amble-Lucas attempted to distribute information, during non-instructional time, to fellow students during last fall's "Pro-Life Day of Silent Solidarity" for the unborn. "This literature was censored by the school district," Babione says bluntly. "They would not allow Michael to hand out these leaflets to his classmates, which is a violation of his First Amendment rights." After Amble-Lucas filed suit, Roberts issued a preliminary injunction in his behalf in January, which on Monday became a permanent injunction in Michigan U.S. District Court. The attorney explains the permanent injunction constitutes "a final decision on the merits" of the case and favors his client now being able to engage in what he describes as a "non-obstructive activity" -- specifically, "just handing a piece of paper, delivering a leaflet to a fellow student." --- BBBS/LiI v4.01 Flag* Origin: Prism bbs (1:261/38) SEEN-BY: 633/267 5030/786 @PATH: 261/38 123/500 379/1 633/267 |
