I get the gist of what you're saying. Regardless, they were on a (all male catholic) school sponsored trip to rally for the subjugation of women. They were gathered at the Lincoln Memorial (tell me that's not ironic) and were prodded on by the admins.

It's not a march I support, and I'm sure their parents/administrators have filled them with some bad ideas, but that's not the operative factor in this controversy.

It’s proportionate in the grand scheme of American history. The smirk should be wiped off all future generations of his family for all the smirks of past generations.
-
Making one kid emblematic of all past and future generations is nowhere close to proportionate. It's insane.

it is proportionate bc this kid, his parents, and school have been and will keep doing much worse throughout all their existence unless they are shamed.

I'd hate to see how this could get much worse, the smile might be wider next time, can't have that.

How's it fair that kids like this get everything handed to them? Blame the parents? That's an infinite regress of scapegoating. He's not 5. He could have moved. He chose to be the face of MAGA hate. And I'm sure some RW org will be happy 2 pay him a 6 figure salary 2 keep hating.

there are probably any number of RW outlets already trying to figure out how to cash in on the outrage. Is there a pool on how soon he's making the Fox News rounds?

Oh no he may become a Supreme Court justice one day.

He could be cruelly oppressed and never get off the appellate bench, my heart weeps for him.

Not only will he be fine but there are enough people in power who applaud what he did so that he will be rewarded at some point. Who remembers the frat boys singing racists songs or let's take a look at Brett Kavanaugh. Brings to mind the saying:

I think he'll be very wealthy, before long...

The very ones who are patting his mother and father on the back and taking their money for legal fees and public relations are the same ones blackballing them behind their backs. It’s always cool until it’s not.

Stop turning smiling politely the best he could in this awkward scary situation for a child into a new into a new
type hate crime. Stop calling him "smirking kid" seriously. -
So true. Now, whenever a white male smiles, it's going to be interpreted as a disrespectful smirk, the product of centuries of white privilege? Will our boys now no longer be allowed even to smile?pic.twitter.com/1jcKcqiC37

Well, he smirked. "In any case, to wear an improper expression on your face (to look incredulous when a victory was announced, for example) was itself a punishable offence. There was even a word for it in Newspeak: FACECRIME, it was called."

And that statement helps center whiteness. It’s not about those kids, it’s about the poc they disrespected. And where’s the fairness for them?
