But let's suppose for a minute that this young kid did, in fact, make some comment about a plate of brownies with "racial intent." What exactly is the crime here? Beyond thoughtcrime what criminal offense has been committed? And is it a misdemeanor or a felony?
Joe, you problematic shitlord, don't you know hatespeech is much worse than a felony? Your name is at the top of the list for reeducation camps or soylent factories if Hillary is elected, right above the name of the abusive patriarch who raised their kid this way.
On the serious side, I'm curious to know what the kid actually said, which is not mentioned in the article. Let's say extreme case the family are white supremacists, the kid made a tremendously racist and disruptive comment, etc. My opinion is school admins should have at most suspended him for a day for disrupting the learning environment (I know it was a party), but given that it was the last day I'd revise to call the parents and just have him picked up early. If the kid was making a hugely offensive joke, whatever, have him grilled by the principal for a few minutes. Likely a nine-year old is making a joke along the lines of "those brownies look like poop" and the teacher ought to handle that in stride.
I'm 100% for the first amendment and free speech, and against political correctness. But elementary school is for learning, free speech is necessarily curtailed in the classroom, etc. Unfortunately looks like schools are the reeducation camps for a socialist future where everyone is equal but some are more equal than others. Hopefully this kid learns a lesson and applies himself to eventually beating them at their own game.
