What was the question? Maybe this kid should be on tv instead of Christine Matthews.
THAT would have passed muster...
Fair question.
Islamic homosexual rapists? Wow. That would never happen. /sarc
He asked Durant if he had been raped during his capture.
There are certain things that you just don't ask in front of 500 other people. IMHO, perhaps the child (and his father) could learn a little class.
What a weird question. You are right. That's a tacky question.
What else is new? They're brimming over everywhere.
Actually I was amazed at the PC response by the pilot, he would not answer!
Rape is a hazard to the females in the military and that is why it is a taboo subject to be discussed.
I think he was only reprimanded because it would have put homosexuality in a bad light.
By ninth grade they have sex ed. He probably found out the week before what it meant.
CWO Durant has every right in not answering the question.
The HS student had every right in asking it, however.
It was a fair question. The kid wanted to know the truth about the muslim savages that rule Somalia. The liberals who run the school didn't want the muslim savages to be exposed for what they are.

I agree. Just because you have a question doesn't mean you should ask it. Priopriety and respect are also values.
It was a bit uncouth, but nothing to be punished for.
Sorry, but I think it was inappropriate and personal. It reflects a lack of sensitivity and the typical culture of today in that what matters is the 'me' and 'what I want', without regard for other peoples feelings.
I'm not saying that the student didn't have a right to ask the question. He did. However, he could have asked so privately, after the forum. To embarrass Durant in front of 500 other people by asking such an intrusive question is lacking in taste.
The student was, what, thirteen or fourteen? He's old enough to know better.
It' is a d*** shame that you are mostlikely right!!
