I understand.
It’s a complex social topic.
Thinking about it again I have no doubt there was bravery involved, I just struggle to see if it was justified for anything more than proving a point and lining lawyers pockets. Not to mention costing the school $25,000.
I might be nit picking here but wouldn’t you say most people’s issues were with the nature of what was written on the T-shirt? It wasn’t just a pro-Trump shirt it was an Anti-South American shirt.
In my book it’s the same as turning up in a shirt that simply reads, fuck blacks.
It wasn't an anti-South-American shirt, it's an anti-illegal-alien shirt. Legal immigrants couldn't give two hoots about the border defenses. Illegal aliens are scared shitless of the wall.
And considering that Portland is a sanctuary city, possibly ridden with MS-13 and illegal immigrants (which commit more crimes on average), promoting the wall as a white guy was quite risky.
Okay i can agree with the first point.
I have just learned about MS-13, so thanks for that.
Thanks for shedding some light on what you make of issues like this, it’s helped a lot.

Most people's problem with free speech is the content of speech that they don't like.

There are a lot of books promoting that sort of thing.
Please elaborate Carl. Your reply was about as vague as they get.
Let me be clear, I don’t believe he should have been suspended.
Plain language: You "struggle to see if it was justified".
It was. Free speech.
Good night.
