Free Speech Shushed Once Again
2000-02-09 15:07:43
A substitute teacher in Boston is reportedly being "shunned" (uh-- new word for "fired"?) for saying that he thought Hitler is "cool." Now I'm no fan of the big-bad-H or anything, but you gotta checkout some of the comments made by those in change of grooming the next generation.
In no particular order:
- "We don't want anything that would be controversial with students." --Jane Wilson, principal of J. Henry Higgins Middle School.
- "You just can't make those kinds of comments" --Superintendent Louis Perullo.
- Perullo said he was pleased that the students complained.
- "Hitler was an evil person and the kids know that. They did the right thing by going to their housemaster, and we tried to react as forcefully as we could."
Man, try taking away "Hitler" and replace with "Democracy," "minorities," or "Freedom of Speech."
I swear (Fuck!), these days thoughts and words are being punished more than actions.

Vacationing from Somnambulant Narrow Realities
So about six months ago, I was chilling in Chang Mai, Thailand with ICBINJ, perursing the Bangkok Times over my banana pancake and Big Chang breakfast when I spotted this article reprinted from the LA Times. It was about some kooks from California (where else?) who were claiming to have been to the front lines in Afgahnistan in mid-December and had recorded the whole feat on their website. "Holy Fuck!" I thought, "Now That's web journalism. Who are these guys!?" (More...)
