ACLU sues for students to wear anti-Islam shirts in Florida schools

[WillowTree]

Liberals support free speech and the aclu,, but not for some we throw chairs at the minutement and shout them down no free speech for them.

Free speech doesn't mean that people have to be happy when you get on stage and spew racist garbage. That being said, the actions of those students was morally reprehensible and contrary to the ideal of the university.

my point exactly and contrary to the concept of free speech, so did the aclu go after Columbia and fight for the minutemen's right to speak?

It is. And the irony of a university known for its school of journalism having that much contempt for free speech. Go Mizzou journalism!

You are right Willow. But this suit is about a public school; not a private university. My primary concern is that there is a concerted effort by the ACLU and other "civil rights lawyers" that is purposefully eroding respect for authority. Kids have a hard enough time accepting that adults have certain rights, privilieges, and responsibilities that are different than children. And if adults condone ANY and ALL behavior on the behalf of children's "constitutional rights", we are headed for big, big trouble in this country. It's moral relativism.

 

[L.K.Eder]

go ahead and agree, meanwhile throw some chairs at Columbia, whydonchya?

i have no idea what you are talking about, but i am a fan of cryptic stuff and of chair throwing in general, so you will get pos rep which in my case will extend your free speech for about 5 minutes.

We get a great deal of moral relativism from folks here on USMB. Obama is at least better than Bush. Republicans have problems too. So on and so forth. Accepting less than a standard is a big problem for America. We excuse politicans, educators, employers and ourselves for falling short.

Except that freedom of speech does not mean that you can say whatever you want without any negative effects. The government can't censor your speech or threaten harm because of it, but that doesn't mean people are required to agree with, like, or even respect your commentary.

yep the shouting at the town halls, and then the dimwits refusing to let all of the public in but limited it to only those who agreed with them all of this is censorship. Not to mention the wh attempting to shut Fox News out. So in summation I conclude the aclu and the left don't exactly carry the torch for free speech.

I agree. And I also read earlier that someone said that libs tell everyone what they can do and conservatives tell people what they can't. Decent generalization that I can somewhat agree with. But as far as children... Don't get me started. Kids need boundaries - and for the most part - they respect them. It's the loonies that keep moving the goal post - to the detriment of those they claim to support. I'd like to see one of these kids try to get a job wearing those shirts. Aren't schools supposed to prepare children for the "real world"?

I was with you up til the bold part. No, schools are not supposed to prepare kids for the real world. They are to teach them math, reading, writing and other skills. PARENTS are supposed to prepare them for the real world.

My kids went to private school K-12. It wasn't the teachers that made the difference. It was the expectations of the parents, imparted to the kids. This translated to a peer group that championed learning and excelling.
