Willravel: *reads articles* This is stupid, I should say something. I'll call.
Nay Sayers: It's okay to get mad, Will, but don't do anything about it. Sure, it's frustrating that they are stifling an interesting topic because they are probalby reactionary sheeple, and that reaction could have forced a good administrator out of her job...but we should only talk about it here in our community.
Willravel: Seriously? Is that really something you want to suggest? I hope I'm not the only one to have written his congressman about stopping the war or who donated to the victims of Katrina. Taking action is the best part of being a free thinking human being, and I think it's the responsibility of all smart people, like those found here on TFP, to take action when they feel things are bad, wrong, or could be better. If you don't take an active role in making the world a better place, then how do expect things to improve?

I don't think I've ever threatened anyone in my life. People who call into the school about a school newspaper article are bound to be reactionary, yes? So it stands to reason that they might say that 'someone suspicious' was calling the school, and it's also reasonable to assume that, because of the heat that was around this issue, the police may have given me a call. I don't want to be put on any lists for crap like that. I'm already on enough lists as it is.
