The Constitution does not guarantee free speech without consequence and social media is not your friend.

What ever happened to “teachable moments”?

Instead of having them write 100 times on the blackboard, “I will not post on the Internet stupid, derogatory blanket statements about ANYONE”, the School should have required them to complete a research project, complete with new postings on social media about positive accomplishments of blacks.

Perhaps even a “walk a mile in my shoes” project mentored by wise and kindly, accomplished blacks from their own community.

The video may have been in poor taste, but it will work wonders for these students’ college applications.

my car was broken into and robbed by blacks 4 years ago. I decided to move because of it

It d@mn sure guarantees that those consequences will not come from government. What the community chooses to do is one thing, but government cannot impose penalties on people for their speech.

Then there is Black Face governor of Virginia.

“Please know this video is being addressed immediately and any student involved in the production of this video will face serious consequences,” Albertus said.

"...because - on their own time, on their own computers, and outside of school property - they said things that, in our opinion, are offensive and hurtful."

I haven’t seen the video, but from the written description it sounds like they are saying that black stereotypes need to be poured down the drain because they are inherently wrong. I guess it doesn’t come across that way if the kids are white, which is a stereotype as well - that all white kids are racist.

Actually, the Constitution does guarantee free speech without government consequence (with exception for threats of violence). Assuming that the school involved is a public school, the first Amendment does apply here. The second part of your statement is undoubtedly true.

Seems to me, repugnant beliefs are your right.. unless they attend a private school, I don’t see how what they do and believe on their own time can be used to prevent them from graduating.

If it’s a private school they can do whatever they like.

[A_perfect_lady]

When will white kids learn they cannot say bad things about black people? Everyone out there can bash whites, but noblesse oblige, you see.

[dfwgator]

Well the good news is that as long as they are Democrats, they can still become a governor.

The Constitution does not guarantee free speech without consequence...

It does guarantee no consequences from government entities, like the Carrollton City School District.

Public Schools are the government.
