It amazes me how many people misinterpret the 1st Amendment to mean they can say anything they want, ANYWHERE without reproach. Must be the public school system.

Bingo, Rintense!! Bravo!

This bears repeating. The concept that free speech means that anyone can say anything anywhere anytime without consequences can be laid at the doorstep of our public school system, which understands not the Constitution of the United States nor any of its first ten amendments.

It is the public school system that demands, yes demands, that its students must learn to read by the third grade, isn't it?

My gosh. My mother taught me to read before I entered the first grade. But that was in the olden days before the conception, gestation and delivery of our modern educational system.

The educational mountain labored, and delivered a mouse cancer upon this country and its future. /rant

This forum was founded in part because someone was fighting an existing private forum owner (Prodigy) over his ability to say and post and read what he wanted and they denied his ability to do that.
