A Students for Life Group at Larry A. Ryle High School in Kentucky has been blocked<\/a> from displaying its flyers for incoming freshmen.<\/p>\n

According to Principal Matthew Turner, the flyers, one of which featured Mother Teresa’s famous declaration that “it is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish,” were “too controversial.” The only handout to be approved featured an Anne Frank quote not specifically about abortion.<\/p>\n
