Friday morning, Sam Houston students found writing on the walls that they could not miss.

On the walls, floor, and even the stairs were anti-abortion messages. The messages read to the effect of “pro-life”, “Abortion stops a beating heart”, and “Bearkats for life” as an anti-abortion group posted messages on campus.

“I think it was a bit extreme,” said Katelyn Slayter, a senior at Sam Houston.

Six colors of chalk told the stories as a litter of hearts were drawn all over the walls. The writing was left over the weekend and was still present Monday.

While Sam Houston State allows posting there is a policy which was violated by the posters. According to the department of student activities operational manual section five “The specific objective is to establish policies and practices pertaining to the distribution of printed materials on the university campus so as to provide an atmosphere conducive to the educational purposes of the university.”

Calls to members of the anti-abortion group went unreturned.

The writing will more than likely be washed off by maintenance according to Dean John Yarabeck.

“We just have some people who got a bit overzealous,” said Yarbeck. “More than likely this will just be cleaned up, I wouldn’t expect anything else unless they continue to do this.”

While some students never noticed the writing, others took it in a demeaning manner.

“I was offended,” said one student who requested to remain anonymous.

While the freedom of speech was implored for messages like this, there is a line between a message and an offense.
