City College students walking through the Quad Sept. 11–12 viewed graphic, oversized abortion images displayed by the anti-abortion activist group Project Truth, part of the Sanctity of Human Life Network.

City College’s Student Associated Council set up tables in the Quad, as well, simultaneously promoting strategies to deal with offensive material, including counter-protesting or scheduling unity events at the same time.

The Express asked students on the Quad what they thought about the display.

Doesn’t mean it should be the only opinion taught to people,” says computer science major Sam Gibbens.

    Sorry journalism. “Promoting our ideology? We present facts that none of your interview apparently want to discuss or refute. Was any effort made to interview any of our team members to discuss why we come onto college campuses? Any good reporter would have done so and also made some note or discussion of the 16 page brochure we handed out.

    Interesting you left out the student who thanked the Project Truth people for showing the display which changed her mind and she now has a beautiful little baby at home. Or the many students who just thanked them for being on their “liberal ” campus.
