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?

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."
