Free speech OK only if you don't offend me?

We were Sagle residents from 2003-2012 and I still read the Bee every day.
Granted I did not see the abortion protesters posters and graphics, but I’ve not read anything indicating the protesters were unruly or disruptive, so the complaint by some is that they did not like the message.
Indeed, an aborted fetus, i.e., life, is not a pretty picture but perhaps more students need to understand that reality. Yes, indeed it may shock some, and it should.
We can show shocking and gory cancer pictures and shocking and gory car wreck pictures to our students as part of school curriculum, but pro-life advocates can’t show shocking and gory abortion pictures to students on the way to school? What’s that all about?
