Controversial Preacher Bradlee Dean Kicked Off High School Campus In Florida

Dean, who last year sparked outrage after a controversial appearance at an Iowa high school, was invited by a student group to speak at an after-school meeting at Spanish River High School in Boca Raton, Fla. According to a lawyer representing Dean and his group, the school’s principal ordered Dean’s event shut down, citing concerns over Dean’s anti-gay stance. A school district spokesman was not available for comment.

The lawyer, Horatio Mihet of Liberty Counsel, wrote the school district on behalf of Dean and the student organization, the American Club, claiming that the decision to bar Dean’s appearance violated the Constitution.

“We see serious constitutional problems with the principal censoring religious and political expression simply because they are deemed ‘offensive,’ especially when there are no specific, articulable facts to support such an assertion,” he wrote. “Federal law, including the Constitution, protects the right of student clubs to present their ideas without fear of censorship because of disagreement with the content of the message.”

Which is high hilarity coming from Liberty Counsel, who routinely attack anyone arguing for gay rights.
