Student suspended after call to congresscritter

lundi 2 avril 2018 à 02:00

Noah Christiansen student called his congresscritter and said representatives should "get off their fucking asses" to enact gun control. His high school punished him personally as a way to pretend there is something very bad about the expression "their fucking asses".

The ACLU says that this violated his constitutional rights.

Christiansen's statement did not insult the congresscritter, even though the congresscritter may well have deserved to be insulted. Christiansen used the word only to express vehemence.

The congresscritter is a Republican jerk, but all he did here was make a complaint. Even if we disagree with his views, we should not condemn him for stating those views.

The ones who acted wrongly are the school officials who punished Christiansen. They deserve a protest campaign. And here's to tell Christiansen, "Right on! Please don't apologize!"
