Why does that seem less unacceptable to me-- even though I disagree with 
that position-- than someone handing out religious brochures?

You (and everyone who agrees this is free speech) do have a point, 
though. Keep in mind, from what I understand, the school didn't outright 
say no. They just stated that the cards could not be handed out in the 
class room, but rather, placed in a public area where others were free 
to take them as they wished.

In regards to free speech, I strongly doubt anyone would find it 
acceptable to walk into a primary school spewing a stream of the most 
foul and profane language you could imagine, so .... why would passing 
out what others could view as offensive be acceptable? (Yes, I realize I 
just made a big logical fallacy, there .... )

or is swearing in a school free speech? If not, why not? How is this 
different from passing out religious fliers? Both are strongly offensive 
to a group of people. I have a right to state my opinions, but I don't 
have the right to offend? Or do I?
