Do I detect another case of Leftist censorship here?

A national tour featuring decorated veterans from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan won’t be stopping at Forest Lake Area High School today as planned, after school leaders abruptly canceled the visit.

Steve Massey, the school principal, said the decision to cancel was prompted by concerns that the event was becoming political rather than educational and therefore was not suitable for a public school.

He said the school had received several phone calls from parents and others, some of whom indicated that they may stage a protest if the event took place.

Ah, so some anti-military nuts found out about this and could not stand for teens to hear facts directly from our brave vets. So, they whined and threatened protests in order to silence their opposition, and to censor dissenting views.

And, if you want to know which leftist weasels were behind this take a peek here
