The U.S. Supreme Court has declined to hear an appeal from a pro-life high school student group, turning away the case without any comment from the justices.
The student club had sought to challenge a school policy that prevented them from posting flyers critical of Planned Parenthood on hallway walls. It’s worth noting that the group was permitted to hand the flyers directly to fellow students — the restriction applied only to putting them up on school walls.
Courts at the lower level had sided with the school, determining that allowing the club to display flyers on hallway walls would amount to what is legally defined as “government speech” — meaning the school itself would effectively be seen as endorsing the message.
With the Supreme Court’s decision not to intervene, those lower court rulings remain in place.
