<em>Masters of War</em> - Students Harassed by Parents
I got this from Densaer, but I thought it was interesting enough to repost it here.
The part of this story I found significant was not that the Secret Service actually investigated this farce (as the principal said, they were just doing their job.) but that the principal of the school actually stated that performing this song was the student’s right of expression.
In this day and age with “zero tolerance” and any statement that could in any way be construed as negative toward the government and administration as “terrorist” talk, to hear a school principal come out for the students rights is a refreshing relief!
“I don’t know why it surfaced,” Cabrera said of the complaints. “I think they’re surprised by all the allegations.”
