I am sorry I cannot post pictures so I am showing the URL. It is the personal story of one very gutsy teenager and his friends who wanted to post politically incorrect posters in his high school and the attemps to shut him up. Very well written and documented with photos, I am rather amazed at the courage it took to stand up for principal. I guarantee my fellow Freepers are going to love this story

WOW!!!! I am SO proud!!!
What struck me was how the tide turned in this case and the liberal teachers didn't appreciate what they themeselves advocated in the previous generation....most telling, isn't it?

What has Communism done? Some teachers would rather you not know...
"The Black Book of Communism"
should be required reading in every high school classroom in the USA.
Bet it would make this teacher vomit.
Because it's not pleasant to realize that a favored atheist philosophy
killed millions in the 20th Century.
Probably more than were ever killed by "religion".

I like these young Protest Warriors. They may be the ones who save the Republic. (If they have the proper firearms training of course)

One boy told me I had no right to express political views in school, to which I told him about Tinker vs. des Moines and how the Supreme Court said I did. His retort: "f*** the Supreme Court, I don't give a sh** what they say, I am the f***ing court around here!" Remember this during the next revolution, kids.
Now lets get on with our lesson about the Second Amendment and how it protects us from home grown tyrants....

I may have gotten this wrong as I only caught snippets...but I think
David Horowitz talked about this kid's struggle on air today (while subbing for Dennis Prager).
IF I got this right, you might try the "loop" of the Dennis Prager Show at this link.
I think the pertninent segment occured late in the first hour (or early in 2nd hour)
of the show:
