Actually, I think the school was in the wrong here. The students who he
was distributing to have every right to say "no thank you".

I think if an atheist wants to distribute information on their beliefs,
they should also be allowed to do so. You might've noticed that I don't
identify as Christian myself, and as long as all beliefs are treated
equally, then I don't see a problem.
But I think the parents of the kid who caused the whole thing probably
would have a problem with an atheist distributing information. *That's*
where the problem usually starts.
