The fact that he wasted taxpayer-funded time running out to interfere with an expression of a viewpoint is itself ludicrous. The fact that he did NOT call the police shows that he knew he didn't have a legal leg to stand on. I have thought for some time that no matter what decade one chooses, there is a species of school administrator that insists they are going to give orders on matters that are none of their business. Some decades, it was writing official approved prayers and ordering students to recite them. Other decades it was prohibiting students from bringing Bibles to school in backpacks. But by God the principal is going to stick his nose where he wants to and tell people what to think. If I had happened by, rather than getting up in the principal's face, I would have walked over to those carrying the signs and engaged in a quiet conversation with them. And if the principal interfered, I would have called the police. As it happens, I disagree with a good deal of what they were saying, but I could have had a perfectly fine conversation about it, and that would have gotten the principal's goat. He may be unaware that students at his school have a protected constitutional right to form, say, a Pro-Life Student Club, if there are any who want to. I could look up and cite a few Supreme Court cases on the subject. <i>Mergens v. Westside</i> comes to mind. And what does him being gay have to do with anything?
