Voice for Life, a student pro-life group on the campus of Johns Hopkins U in Baltimore, had been an officially-recognized student organization for fifteen years. When it applied for re-recognition, the Student Government Association denied their application. The basis for denial was strictly on account of VFL's pro-life advocacy. The SGA overstepped their bounds, no doubt due to their own pro-abortion proclivities. One SGA member went so far as to equate VFL with a "white supremist group".
The Thomas More Law Center intervened on behalf of VFL. Today it was announced that the Student Government Association Judiciary Committee reversed the SGA ruling of March 24 and now Voice for Life enjoys the rights that all other JHU student groups enjoy.
HT to Jill Stanek's blog for the story; please follow that link for further details. Ladies and gentlemen of good will, this is no time to be passive and demure. We must stand up for our rights and not be afraid to get a little dirt under our fingernails. Congratulations to these students.

Hats Off To Daniel Glowacki!
Who is Daniel Glowacki? He is the high-school junior who is standing up for his rights as a Catholic to hold and express his beliefs.
On October 10, 2010, as he walked into his economics class at Howell High School in Howell, Michigan, he was ordered to remove his belt buckle by the teacher, Johnson "Jay" McDowell. The belt buckle bore the Confederate flag and McDowell considered himself "offended" by it. At the same time, McDowell was wearing a purple tee-shirt decrying alleged "bullying of gays". When Glowacki pointed out the obvious double-standard regarding classroom attire, McDowell questioned him on the spot about his feelings on homosexuality. Glowacki replied to the question by stating that as a Catholic he was offended by the gay lifestyle. Immediately he was ordered to leave the classroom under threat of suspension. McDowell then posed the same question to the rest of his class - and summarily threw out yet another student.
The gay cartel wasted no time jumping on Glowacki, like vultures swooping in for their prey. The school district sided with their "anti-bullying" bully - who just happens to be the school leader for the teachers' union (ahem!). Ellen DeGeneres even jumped into the fray.
Also jumping into the fray, though, is the Thomas More Law Center. They are representing Glowacki and his family in a federal lawsuit filed against the school district. Good for them! At this point in time, Glowacki is probably eighteen years old. I applaud him for showing not only the courage not to back down in the classroom but also for standing up and saying to McDowell and his cronies that he has First Amendment rights and there will be consequences for those who infringe upon them.
In the meantime, please consider contacting the school itself at http://www.howellschools.com/staff_directory.cfm?school=1952 McDowell is number 86. The principal is Aaron Moran, number 103. Go to their entries for specific email addresses. General mailing address and phone/fax numbers are at the top.

The Truth About Abortion Sends Pro-Abort Lemmings Into A Tizzy
In another area of the country, the Northland Family Planning Center in Lansing, Michigan, tried to put a pretty, smiley face on the horror of abortion via a video in January. The Center for Bioethical Reform took that clip and spliced some shots therein telling the truth about abortion. Seeing that their attempt to put lipstick on a rattlesnake was being foiled, the abortuary is threatening to sue CBR. The Thomas More Law Center is representing CBR and sent a letter to the abortuary's attorneys stating that they would be happy to take the matter to court.
Below is the CBR video. Warning: GRAPHIC! Click here if you can't see embedded video
