In reply to the discussion: SF student suspended over Connecticut poem (about school shooter) [View all]Warren DeMontague
(80,708 posts)"let's toss aside freedom of expression"? You'll convince me that High School Students while in school have unlimited freedom of expression after you get that Supreme Court ruling overturned that allowed a school to discipline a student for his "Bong Hits 4 Jesus" banner that he unfurled--- while NOT at school.
And I disagreed with that ruling. It's also worth noting that I haven't suggested she's not entitled to express her opinion.
What I HAVE suggested- and I'm sorry if I'm not sympathetic enough, for you, to the selfish, navel-gazing twit who "understands" why a teenager would feel so oppressed by "societah!"
that they would "need" to kill a bunch of 1st graders- is that she ought to have her self-centered little Millennial head examined. Because this isn't tossing a cherry bomb into a toilet or spray painting an "Anarchy" symbol on a street sign, this is walking into a room full of little children and methodically, deliberately, filling them with bullets.
She "understands why" someone would do that? Fuck Her. Wear black eyeliner or listen to the early albums of the fucking Cure if society alienates you so fucking much. Don't take it out on a bunch of innocent kids.
I'm going to posit that, yes, in this case, if someone does not 'agree with the majority' that there is something MASSIVELY FUCKED UP ABOUT KILLING 20 6 YEAR OLDS, THEN YES,
THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THAT PERSON.
Am I going to apologize for not being "understanding" enough of this erstwhile "poet"? Um, No.
