Westboro Church won't be protesting at Ponderosa
Westboro Baptist Church members won't protest the graduation of a teen-aged critic in Parker Thursday, after all, a Douglas County School District spokesman announced today.
The protest by the controversial Kansas congregation was apparently cancelled at Ponderosa High School "due to travel complications," schools spokesman Randy Barber said in an e-mail to media.
The school system and Parker police had planned increased security because of the Topeka church's plans to protest Ryan Wheeler, the student who wrote a Colorado Voices column published in The Denver Post March 20 critical of the group.
Wheeler disagreed with the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling that Westboro had a constitutional right to hold anti-gay protests at military funerals.
Wednesday night, a 45-minute protest at the school was still listed on the church's website. The church stated it would picket the event "to tell the graduates the truth for once in their miserable, worthless lives."
The church alleges Wheeler "took up pen to lie about God and His servants at WBC, and to show his complete ignorance of Doomed american (sic) law and history."
