just wow...

So much for the 1st Amendment...

Freedom of speech only applies when you what someone else WANTS you to say...

[frankiep]

So they won’t say what they said exactly, only that it is bad enough to suspend them. Wonderful.

It’s beginning already.

I just wonder what the tipping point is going to be, and when the hell it is finally going to happen.

[Mr. Mojo]

Just the beginning. Soon merely criticizing his policies will earn one a suspension. ...or far worse. Heil Hussein!

[Def Conservative]

What did they exactly say?

What happened to FREE SPEECH? DISSENT IS PATRIOTIC

[Rumplemeyer]

where did this happen?

[anniegetyourgun]

even ‘the devilsadvocate666’ is amazed!

[stan_sipple]

the words fell underthe high schools censorship thought control policy

[ConservativeMind]

Unless they used the “N” word, I don’t know how this was truly offensive or worth a suspension.

Liberalism is mentally deranged. Negative comments against our sitting president, Bush, would not be punished.

...two students who allegedly used insensitive language during a social studies class discussion about the presidential election.

It doesn't say what the "insensitive" language was. If it truly were bad, they would have told us. The students probably said something true, like that Obama wouldn't have won if he were white.

[OneWingedShark]

Hmmm, no quotations of the ‘insensitive’ language? Maybe it was just something like “What a moron, the only way the government can afford to give healthcare to everybody is to give them the power to tell you when to die.”

..."What we do in such situations as this is try to address the behavior and change it," she said. "We're a learning environment....

Sounds more like "indocrination" than "learning"... There is Obama's "change" for you...Change how you think, speak, live...Change...

The 1st amendment does not apply inside schools. There’s plenty of case law to back that up.
