Tennessee Principal on Administrative Leave for Warning Students About Social Media Censorship
January 15, 2021 Corinne Murdock
A Tennessee principal was placed on paid administrative leave after warning students about the dangers of social media censorship. Principal Barton Thorne recorded a homeroom video on Monday, reportedly sharing his thoughts via the Shelby County Schools (SCS) virtual learning platform to address several Big Tech companies’ recent decisions to censor various individuals and platforms.
In a recording of the video since deleted from YouTube, Thorne emphasized the need to allow for free speech and a “marketplace of ideas.” He condemned the Capitol Hill riot and stated that his statements had nothing to do with President Donald Trump.
“[In] America and in democracies, we talk about the marketplace of ideas – but what happens when the marketplace of ideas becomes a forced monopoly?” asked Thorne. “What happens when you do not have dissenting opinions, when you do not have an exchange of competing ideas? How do you know if your ideas can stand on their own if there is no marketplace of ideas?”

And he says exactly what our education system is supposed to be. Open debate and exchange of ideas.

Our children are completely fricked. Leftists and the media are dismantling their defenses one by one

What was he thinking?
Clearly he should not be an educator.

To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize
