Free Speech (But Only if You're in Left Field)
An article in the Washington Times begins:
"Tim Bueler recently received some unusual advice: His principal and a campus police officer suggested that he stay home from his California high school for a few days."
"They feared for his safety because Tim, the founder of Rancho Cotate High School's new Conservative Club, said he had received threats from other students after writing an article for the club newsletter calling for a crackdown on illegal immigration."
"The teacher told him, 'When you say things like that, you've got to expect that things like this are going to happen. Why don't you go out the back door?' " Mr. Bueler said in recounting the incident."
...
"Tim said teachers have also joined in the name-calling. One called Tim a Nazi, while another described the club as 'a bunch of bigots.' In a parody of the newsletter, biology teacher Mark Alton called on students to 'take a stand against the neoconservative wing-nuts who call themselves Americans.'"

Could you imagine the outcry if a gay student had been persecuted for starting a local GBTSA?
