James FarmerGreg Howard: A Model American LOSER!
Just when you thought racism in America could not be more in your face, along comes a loser like Florida middle-school teacher Greg Howard, pictured below.
You see, Greg has a new take on the phrase: “Change We Can Believe In.” For Greg, the word “C.H.A.N.G.E.” provides a convenient acronym for:
Come Help A Nigger Get Elected.
While certain of our friends at 1U will do battle over Greg’s right to use the N-word where and how he pleases, in this instance, even our friends must agree and concede there are limits on free speech, as described here and here, for example.
What a LOSER! Worse yet, America loses when folks do not speak out over such an outrage.
Friends and McCain supporters?? What say you??

Look at a Google search for “Greg Howard, Marianna FL“. Oops!

No 1A right to say it in a public school classroom. Of course there are limits on free speech.
What’s your point?
In any event, freedom of speech doesn’t mean freedom from consequences.

Aha! Then you agree that speech codes do exist in America. That’s a shift in position!

I never said that speech codes didn’t exist in America. Please try again.
I did however suggest that speech codes were inappropriate for adults. Like University speech codes.

Ah, there you go again, jd … say it ain’t so!

JD,
Its hard to tell where you are going here, but it is abundantly clear you are trying to defend what can only be described as personal confusion.
Have you ever considered the possibility that your principles are without foundation in reality? Is it possible you’ve adopted on off-the-shelf ideology that has never been defensible?

That’s the FLAT-OUT worst acronym I’ve ever heard.

Sorry, Cliff? What am I defending, exactly?
(Or - what is it that YOU think I’m trying to defend?)
