A school that punishes students for "insensitive language" in making a political point (however stupid the point) does not get to claim it believes in freedom of speech.
Controversy over local high school student's tweet (www.myfoxboston.com)
A local high school cheerleading captain was disciplined after she sent out a tweet about illegal immigrants.
She says it was a political statement, not a racial one. FOX25 spoke with the teen who says she was taking a page from Donald Trump. [Ugh. -tms]...
"When only 10 percent of Revere votes for mayor cause the other 90 percent isn't legal," Godino said in the tweet.
She says it was a response to a tweet from her teacher about the low voter turnout for November's mayoral race. Caley says she meant her tweet as a political comment, not a racial one.
But after other students complained, the school stepped in. Revere Superintendent Dianne Kelly says the district believes in freedom of speech, but cannot support what she calls insensitive language.
