A Connecticut high school is banning a fetal growth poster display put together by a pro-life club, claiming that the topic is too controversial:
But there's more about this story that isn't being covered, something that goes back one full year:
A parent with a daughter attending Branford High School complained to the local school board that the pro-life club at the school "is a club that gets its directive from an extreme base of hate and intolerance. Their tactics of killing doctors, assaulting women, blowing up clinics is terroristic in nature and a total disregard for law and woman at large."
The woman asked members of the Branford Board of Education not to identify her during their meeting on February 20. However, the local newspaper reporting the incident indicated that the meeting was videotaped.
“It has come to my attention that a BHS pro-life club has been formed,” the woman said at the board meeting. “We all know that -- especially today -- that a pro-life/pro-choice debate is a very heated and intense topic."
"A club that is so clearly divisive should not be permitted in the public school system. In the very least it is a topical club that is alienating. It is not a club of supported diversity," she said. "It is a distraction from what our children are really there for: an education.”
“Don’t let hate groups infiltrate our educational system,” the woman concluded.
A revealing statement by this mother who seems quite adept at parroting leftist talking points but one I think 
gives insight to the kinds of pressure to which this principal is likely succumbing.
Of course, it didn't take long to find the kinds of clubs that are allowed at this Connecticut High School, clubs that are arguably as controversial but have not garnered similar scrutiny, clubs like Amnesty International or the Gay and Straight Alliance Club.
Think for a minute what we'd be hearing if a pro-choice club was banned from displaying relevant poster boards at lunch in a southern high school. Think of the gnashing of teeth that would ensue. Yet here, a pro-life display that does nothing more than provide information on fetal growth over time is banned and it barely registers as a blip on national media outlets.
The fundamental transformation of this country continues.
Carry on.
