Did you even watch the one minute video? Although the student may have cursed earlier he was quite calm and very well spoken in the video .
I watched an undisciplined, over-animated teenager exploding over the free speech of his teacher.
ETA: The problem is that you actually believe your "truth" about this situation to be in the right. Cognitive dissonance is telling.

Sure I would, if only to, like the teacher in the video, use it as a way to demonstrate the hypocrisy of its "ownership" by one group.

Great response by the student in that video.

Exhibit A of choosing to allow something to ruin your day when it doesn't have to. 17 year olds are dumb, but man I hope this kid looks back on this situation and realizes how dumb it is to say that a word is just unmentionable in any context at any time no matter what.
It's not the teenager's fault if the school over-indulges his "feelings." Lack of truth and accountability at the top always has destructive consequences.

Liberals believe their emotions dictate right and wrong. Not logic.
This why words like "tolerance" and "equality" are dangerous. All they mean are preferential treatment for certain groups and, eventually, ultimate tyranny.

Sounds like the teacher was demonstrating the right of free speech in a responsible manner. . . which doesn't appear to a "free" thing to a certain demographic who uses it with so much liberty that you'd think it was a bodily function.

When the North Charleston cop who killed Walter Scott can't even get convicted of manslaughter when there's video evidence of it, why should the public have any respect for a department who, despite being employed to protect and serve, are the quickest to take your life?
Slagle didn't get convicted because the retard prosecutors who, true to form, charged him with murder one when there was no way they were going to get that. He was at fault, yes, but, like the Balch Springs case, it's not murder because there's never the criminal intent to take a life, only gross negligence.

I honestly think that given the status of police relations in black communities, it may be better to reduce policing and just mop up the mess. They will either embrace the lawlessness or they will beg for more policing. Either way, it's a win.
This would mean abandoning some legitimately good people who live in those communities. I realize that it's a no-win situation, but the answer is not complete martial law in certain areas; the answer is fewer social welfare benefits and more pressure on accountability for family responsibility. This means acknowledging a truth that a lot of people willfully ignore: the innate inequality/limitations of certain people and the ingrained cultural pathology of certain demographics.

De-policing the new normal
Posted by PoundFoolish on 5/4/17 at 4:56 pm
It's hard to have legitimate law and order (and even legitimate LEO's in certain places like Balch Springs) when there work environment is made so hostile. There is not a "policing problem"; it is the gradual decline in respect for authority which is slowly eradicating our society.

FBI report finds officers ‘de-policing’ as anti-cop hostility becomes ‘new norm’
quote:
An unclassified FBI study on last year’s cop-killing spree found officers are “de-policing” amid concerns that anti-police defiance fueled in part by movements like Black Lives Matter has become the “new norm.” “Departments — and individual officers — have increasingly made the decision to stop engaging in proactive policing,” said the report by the FBI Office of Partner Engagement obtained by The Washington Times. The report, “Assailant Study — Mindsets and Behaviors,” said that the social-justice movement sparked by the 2014 death of 18-year-old Michael Brown at the hands of an officer in Ferguson, Missouri, “made it socially acceptable to challenge and discredit the actions of law enforcement.”
quote:
The report also found that the trend toward drug decriminalization and reduced sentencing had emboldened perpetrators, making them believe that “consequences no longer exist for criminal acts, especially drug offenses.” “Across the country, law enforcement link the decriminalization of drugs to the increase in violent attacks on law enforcement,” said the study. Such factors have “had the effect of ‘de-policing’ in law enforcement agencies across the country, which assailants have exploited.” The report cited an example in which an officer was slammed to the ground and beaten but refused to shoot the assailant “for fear of community backlash.” “The officer informed the superintendent that the officer chose not to shoot because the officer didn’t want his/her ‘family or department to have to go through the scrutiny the next day on the national news,’” said the study.

Arlington police are still trying to process a horrific shooting scene that unfolded at a popular restaurant and bar. Police flooded the Zona Caliente Sports Bar at about 6:15 after receiving calls of an active shooter. Lt. Christopher Cook said two people were killed, including the alleged shooter. "We believe the shooter is one of those deceased who was killed by a customer in the location after the suspect shot and killed someone inside the restaurant," Cook said. James Jones, 48, and Cesar Perez, 37, were pronounced dead. Perez was a manager at the restaurant, and Jones has been identified as the first shooter.
quote:
The customer who shot Jones had a concealed weapon on him at the time of the incident and a concealed handgun license. He hasn't been identified, and police say no charges will be filed against him. Cook said it all began when Jones walked into the bar and approached Perez, a manager, who was standing at one end of the bar. The pair began arguing. “There was some type of altercation, things being said, and this man pulled out a gun and shot the employee and killed the employee," Cook said. After Perez was killed, Cook said the customer from the other end of the bar brought out his own handgun, then shot and killed Jones. “He made the decision to engage the shooter, fearing there would be other loss of life,” said Cook. A motive wasn't immediately clear, but police were interviewing dozens of potential witnesses that were inside as either customers or staff. They're also reviewing surveillance video. This comes after the rash of violent incidents across Texas in the past couple of weeks.
