Free Speech

I saw an article about a high school newspaper in California that ran cartoons depicting the dontard as a Nazi and the police as KKK members.  Now this apparently sparked some sort of outrage which sounds like something that it outrageous itself.

Who cares what gets printed is these high school magazines outside of the high school and local community?  Apparently in today's world everyone does.

Now this was reported by the propaganda group over at Murdoch's channel and I wonder how many times they got outraged by cartoons of the prior president?  I suspect not very often, which is what they should do since all of this is protected by the first amendment of the constitution.

If the expectation now is that you can only send you child to a high school that allows no controversy or free expression, well, I have to say I'm sorry for that child.

Now I grew up at a time when protesting the Vietnam war was an ongoing activity and there were lively debates and cartoons everywhere.

Not sure anyone turned out the worse for it, it was an exercise in freedom.

We also had the protests related to the civil rights movement which also had very lively discussions and unfortunately some pretty lively violence also.

Whatever your opinion is of the current president you have the right to express it.  If you see an opinion you don't like, you can respond or ignore it.

Free speech is a dangerous thing but it also one of the most positive things we have.

If you spend a lot of time defending the 2nd Amendment, maybe you should think about how the first gives you the right to do that and appreciate it instead of trying to suppress it.
