Since when did kids become censors, oppressors and deniers of basic American Rights? Is it a product of societal pressure, a willingness for uniformity and a desire to not stand out that makes these kids want to stifle freedoms? Is it our homogenized society of non-conflict and uniform corporate commerce? Or are kids being taught intolerance for any kind of dissent and "rocking the boat" in any important way?
What can we do? Well if you're a parent the answer is obvious. If you're not then display the freedoms we have...use the rights the Constitiution guarantees you. Create something that might be disapproved by others. Fuck, even burn a flag if you gotta. Yes, I know that statement pisses some of you off. But if you accept that I have a right to say and do just that, then you are not the problem. Show the youth what their rights are by practicing them daily. The alternative is not pretty.
