(Daily Caller) School district officials in Grosse Pointe,
Michigan have canceled a decision to allow Rick Santorum to speak at Grosse
Pointe South High School, then reversed that cancellation.
There is a catch, though: students who want to see the former U.S. senator and
presidential hopeful must first obtain permission from their parents.
A local chapter of the group Young Americans for Freedom (YAF) had originally
invited Santorum to speak at the high school on April 24, explains the Detroit
Free Press. The group raised $18,000 for the speech — presumably to cover costs
and pay any fees to Santorum.
Senior Langston Bowens, 18, who apparently spearheaded the effort to bring to
Santorum to the school, said the social conservative would speak on leadership —
how to make good decisions and stick by them, that kind of thing.

The reason for requiring the parental permission signatures might be related to concern about violating a state/school district regulation against promoting political beliefs and involving students in political work or matters. I'm not sure if this prohibition against involving students in political action of any kind is a national or state rule, but it could be the innocuous reason for the parental permission requirement. In a school district in which I taught, students could not even be allowed to participate in promoting the school levy election.
