CWO Durant has every right in not answering the question.
The HS student had every right in asking it, however.
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.
Agreed.
Yeah, we all have every right to askk any a question any place we please,,,but civil people know what not to ask. And being civil is as important a virtue to learn as "what your rights are"
Would you agree on that. If this were my kid, I would give him a lecture he would never forget.
The school had the right to punish him for being inappropriate.
I wonder if they would have treated the kid the same if
he had asked T.E. Lawrence about when he was held by the
Turks.
