      While there are established limits to free speech, the Schenck v US rulling was narrow in scope and doesn’t apply to a little girl drawling a picture in school. If you’re going to cite case law at least find applicable cases and not just pick the 1st one in your search without reading the ruling.

      There are many more applicable rulings, mostly to do with how much a school can limit a student’s speech, even those do not cover everything, which is what the Supreme Court is for. Why do liberals constantly forget this? It’s almost like they don’t know constitutional law.

      “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

      Seems pretty straight forward to me.

    How does anyone put up with reading crap like this? Literally every sentence is as shrill and manipulative as they can manage. The author is terrified you might form an opinion of your own.

      I probably put more thought into this than I should, but I feel it should be mentioned that this was almost certainly written by a non-american who speaks English as a second language.

      Some of the word choices are very telling: “Falangist” and “Mosleyite” are references that, if they were made by an American, would only be made by an American acaademic from one of those “woke” universities, and they certainly wouldn’t use these terms incorrectly as this cognitively challenged author does. “Gavage” is an unusual word for most American English speakers. It is originally a French word for force-feeding ducks or geese to make their livers grow enormous and delicious. I believe an American would more likely have said " force feed" or " indoctrinate". Taken together with " tommyrot" -again, not a common americanism- leads me to believe this is someone who learned English in the United Kingdom or from a British teacher/ source materials.

    When woke parents, teachers, and judges join forces to gavage “woke” tommyrot into the minds of young kids, it’s time to consider the options you have regarding your kids’ education.

    Now is a good time to remind you that Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.) just signed a law stating that schools need not contact parents if their child decides he wants to cut off his p*nis because he thinks he’s a girl that day.

    Lmao. Is somebody getting paid to write this stuff? They must be getting paid in rubles.

    Here is my problem with cases like this. The family will win the case in court but the people who violated her rights will have no punishment.

    The people who keep violating rights should be punished

    “B.B.'s mom had no idea the punishment had taken place until another parent told her roughly a year after the woke nonsense took place.”

    The government should not be keeping secrets from parents.

      A child shouldn’t be punished without parental knowledge. Shit I grew up the 80’s and they couldn’t punish you without your parents knowing.

      This hidden agenda crap needs to stop
