Every educator should feel deep alarm that some schools are denying right to peaceful expression. Toxic, cowardly and illegal.

The lesson to students is that “free” speech is acceptable UNLESS it’s even mildly critical of the white establishment.

Mad over taking a knee. I'm mad that Flint still doesn't have healthy water. People playing American when it's convenient 4 them.

Nah, Ahern said IF they kneeled they would be benched. Oppressed? From what? his private and catholic school treatment? higher education?
-
Constitutional liberty? The first amendment? Haha hello?

Hello?! It is a private school? That is the whole point. Some of those liberties he forfeited when he went there.
-
Wait wait wait, you're telling me because it's a private school, that it's ok to be punished for using your constitutional rights....?

You don't just forfeit your rights yoi. You may abide by certain rules like a religion class and mass, but you never lose your born rights:/

Violent protest = bad Peaceful protest = bad *Thinking* about protest = bad. What's left?
-
Don't protest at all. It's quite sad.
-
That does seem to be the desire, doesn't it? Keep moving the goal posts for "acceptable" protest until there's no field. left.
