Alveda King speech canceled

I jsut read this on the Des Moines Register site.

If the article hadn't mentioned that she was pro-life I would have never known. There must've been a better way to handle this situation.

Quite a bit of it does talk about civil rights, but there is a connection to morals and that’s the part... it was scheduled to take place during the school day, cutting into class time, and we just thought it was best to cancel it.

Yeah, God forbid kids be exposed to moral viewpoints, like not killing babies because you find them inconvenient.

I wonder whether she would have been allowed to speak if she was a vocal abortion advocate.

Aren't civil rights a moral issue? I mean, if you PASS A LAW that says you can enslave blacks, what's the problem with it? If you PASS A LAW that says women can't vote, what's the big deal?

So she's anti-abortion. Just another moral issue.
