Late yesterday, Liberty Counsel filed a complaint in federal court in New Mexico to stop the unconstitutional censorship of a group of students at Roswell High School and Goddard High School called “Relentless in Roswell.”

The student group had previously handed out food, hot chocolate, and candy canes, and distributed rocks with affirming words such as “U are wonderful” painted on one side and “Psalm 139” on the other to the student body and faculty, without opposition or prior permission from the school. School officials never objected to the group’s activities until one day before class, students handed out small rubber models of preborn babies. The models showed the babies at 12 weeks gestation and were each labeled with Biblical references and pro-life messages. School officials seized hundreds of the baby models and told the students, “It’s time to shut this down. Some people are getting offended.” The models were even confiscated from students who were not distributing them. However, the students were then pulled out of class and instructed by Principal Bolaños to cease their “Christian” acts because they had made their point.

The superintendent then suggested the students embrace a less controversial message of abstinence and gave them permission to individually hand out abstinence wristbands. But when one student gave out the wristbands on the terms suggested by the superintendent, he was punished with a suspension. Students do not shed their constitutional rights at the schoolhouse gate, and Liberty Counsel is standing up and protecting their rights.
