Going back to the primary source:<br /><br />"It said that the KKK and the Nazi party are exercising their freedom of speech by using swastikas etc." Perhaps the problem for American society as a whole is technically dad is correct -- there is a legal right to do so. (See clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTyHW3sY9_A) Perhaps a more ordered and considered society would enact curtailments of hate speech. Perhaps schools should contextualize the use of such speech and moderate outside presenters. So dad may be an odoriferous troll but yet he is not incorrect as a matter of law. Can crosses also qualify as free speech upon the same basis? Yup. And may crosses also be considered hate speech? That faith has been indicted in genocide and oppression. <br /><br />and <br /><br />"women's marches, by excluding pro life women, 'are tearing our country apart.' (His actual words in quotation marks.)" The hatepolitik aside, this is a difficult statement for its maker to justify as a matter of logic because it contains a subjective and unprovable political component -- mere opinion. Is that the standard then? One's own prejudices? The school clearly ought not to have allowed this one.<br /><br />I am sure the readers of E W/O N all hope TM pays a visit, skoolz the principal, and does so in a polite, elegant and mind-bending way. I know I want to read such a blog post next week.John T.

Give them no airspace. <br />D. E.M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05547424481936255550noreply@blogger.com
