Book of belief pushed on students

 As people, we are entitled to our own beliefs. Is it right to take the freedom of that choice away from us or to push a certain belief system onto a person? 

At colleges, there are plenty of classes you can take that will accommodate your interests. How about the people who are on the campus grounds voicing their beliefs and trying to enlighten students, should they be escorted off
the premises? 

A Bellflower-based Christian ministry that promotes creationism has stated that University of California, Irvine will be one of the many schools distributing Charles Darwin's "The Origins of Species". They will not state what other universities will be distributing the books because of the threats they have received from atheists who will "burn the books or take
them away". 

Tony Miano, an outreach director for Living Waters, said that UC Irvine is a "good-sized school that's well-known around the country in the sciences," which is why they are distributing the books. 

Not only will they be handing out the books at UC Irvine but they will also be hosting a Darwin Exhibit in the main library later this month. In December the NAS Center in Irvine will be holding an international conference regarding Darwin. There are 175,000 copies that will be distributed throughout all the universities in the country. This is possible due to private funding. 

Should the distribution of this book be limited, allowed or prohibited at universities around the country? 

Not allowing people to distribute or have the ability is against our First Amendment. It should be allowed but it is up to the people who walk past the distributors to either take the book or just walk past and ignore them. 

Schools are a place to get an education, which is why there
are many classes offered for people
to take. 

By not allowing this to take place then an opportunity to
become educated in this subject is being denied. 

Universities should not limit their students to particular subject
matter; they should never take a particular side. 

In fact, schools should shed light on both sides allowing the individual to decide for themselves. As long as this distribution is not hurtful, is in anyone's way or the cause for a riot then it should be allowed. 

Let college students make the decision for themselves and the universities should support
both parties.
