HE did not damage the school... the TEACHER did. of course, i would NEVER expect any teacher / progressive to see it that way.
i would also submit that the teachers in that school have been encouraging the attacks on the student... as evident by the asst. principal's attitude.
the FACT is politics should not have been brought up in class, unless it was a political class (in high school?)
You're right - so-called 'educators' have created a hostile environment for learning. The young man could sue them - the best way to deal with bullies is to fight back with everything you've got... He's not attending a school - he's an inmate at an indoctrination center and a mean one at that.
He's one brave kid - my hat's off to him.
