Freedom of speech is freedom of speech, even opposite a school

This is Local London reports that parents of children at the Christ Church Primary School in Manor Drive, Surbiton, as well as neighbours are upset by anti-abortion bumper stickers displayed by a nearby religious order.

To me, this seems rather ridiculous.

These mothers may strongly disagree with the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith views on abortion, and may even find them offensive.

However, people have the right to display their political views, no matter how offensive others may find them. even if they live opposite a school.

The children who attend this school may be of primary school age, but it will not harm them to learn about the different views people have on abortion.

I would imagine that you would hear more offensive things walking through any primary achool playground.

The parents and neighbours should respect the views of Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith and stop complaining to the media.
