Get with the program, kid

It's important to express your opinion, so long as it's approved:
Minneapolis police say no arrests have been made after a student carrying a flag with the word “Trump” on it was assaulted outside of Southwest High School.

Police say the altercation happened while students were outside of the building during National School Walkout Day Wednesday morning.
He totally had it coming. There's more:
As students were observing a moment of silence, two students confronted the flag-bearing student across the street from campus.

Six other students joined in the confrontation, taking away his flag, damaging his camera and inflicting minor injuries.
8 kids against 1. Sounds fair. But they took the kid out for cake later:

Here's a hint to our crusading young people. If your school allows you to walk out, you're not risking anything for your protest. You're enlisting in their cause. Do what you want, but understand you aren't speaking truth to power. You're getting in line.

Wouldn't it be neat if adults were in charge of things like schools? Their lack of wisdom is stunning. It's one thing to sympathize with gun control. I think it's foolish, but it's understandable. But to use kids as props and (further) damage their own institution is appalling. I'm not sure you can have a country with citizens who are this suicidal.

Broken wrist, told by the school not to come back because they couldn't guarantee his safety. I think a good lawyer might make it possible for him to go to private school or be homeschooled, if ya catch my drift. Or maybe even for his family to escape the liberal cesspool and move to the burbs!
