Are they going to send them to a reeducation camp for the wrong opinion?

All viewpoints are equal, but some viewpoints are more equal than others. I hope their English department teaches “Animal Farm”.

Schools and universities have free speech for those who agree with the establishment. But only for them.

When leftist students set fires, break things and chant terroristic threats it’s called a peaceful demonstration

When conservative students kneel and silently hold signs...that’s an intolerable show of disrespect; it’s off to the reeducation gulag you bigots!

I hope the parents of the four students sue the teacher who attacked the students, Superintendent DeJonge, and the School Board for complicity and failing to discipline the teacher.

DeJonge's subsequent reasons for suspension were contradictory, and no evidence for any of them were reported. DeJonge's claim that he "felt the students interrupting the gathering were disrespectful to other students" is ridiculous. The school may claim to be "Christian" in name, but DeJonge and the teacher did not demonstrate any Christian behavior in this incident, which was a shameful demonstration of Demonicrats suppressing freedom of speech.

“Trump” and “Build the Wall”: hate speech.

Insert the truthful term and see what these fool administrators are doing and whom they are serving. These they defend are not immigrants, they are invaders. Immigration is a whole different thing, done lawfully.

When I was at GR Christian in the 1970s, Animal Farm was required reading. How times have changed!

"The boys did not create havoc by doing what they did," DeJonge said. "It was what was following where there became a disruption and aggression and disrespect to students and to staff and faculty."

Aren't principals required to know how to write in Michigan?

This is going to get so out of control, we may see mass street fights coming over the next 4 years. I hope the cops know who is on their side.

"You talk about a revolution..." as the liberal Beatles said. Well, the "revolution" is coming from Constitutional and Tradition Values people,young and old, that's no longer the "silent majority". We've had enough of this non-workable socialist progressive crap.

This country is now at the edge of clandestine warfare. I personally believe it will start over either a race riot or the idiotic transgender bathrooms. I see my Grand-Daughter walk into a Women's bathroom and a man walk in behind her, I still have the gumption to kick his perverse sorry ass out. I don't give one shit about how he identifies. I will go to jail for that. They can charge me for battery and some ill-defined hate charge, I will sit my ass in a holding tank and deal with the charges later. Been there done that. I know what jail is about from my youth.

BTW, look up "Knuckle Blaster". Pepper spray is problematic - 100,000 volts are not. In most states, including California, tasers are legal to carry. It's time we tased these pissy little snowflakes when they get violent and make them see the reality of the World. Bring your pocket Knuckle Blaster or gun taser to any protest you join . Zap, walk quietly away, and disappear into the crowd. Again, if the punks get violent.
