This brave young high school student was suspended from school for writing a tweet saying his school was stifling student dissent.
And was then forced to writing this apology or not graduate.
I need the @ACLU & @ACLUAlabama to check on this.https://twitter.com/WadeC99/status/974027677958049792 …

What the hell is wrong with these school administrators? They should be using this time as a teachable moment, not threatening children!!

Narrow minded school administrators are terrified by their students. The school system is designed to churn out sheep, not activist citizens. Kids thinking for themselves is the LAST thing they want. Keep up the good work!

Uhhhh how can they punish him for his opinion? That’s gotta be illegal, right? I get intervening when someone makes threats on social media or something, but this doesn’t fall into that category. They’re suppressing free speech.

I got an idea! Until high schools start teaching something actually useful, I say teenagers should just be able to make the decision to go home or work. If they are teaching the same lies & useless stuff as when I was in school, then they can just Google all that crap!
