    Free speech. I’m certainly allowed to give my opinion.

    You never know. He could turn into a logging banning genius who, tomorrow, will save the delicate ecosystems for kindling to promote uncontrollable wildfires that he can then blame on Climate Change. Or he can be the genius who predicts that Martha's Vineyard will be underwater so he can get a good deal on a retirement home --- on Martha's Vineyard.

    It all starts with a good balanced education... or even possibly whatever is provided at Transylvania University...

    Like 60% of the Hiram college graduates in my daughter's class, graduating with degrees in identity politics --- Women Studies, African American Studies, Latino Studies --- with no hope of landing a job and less hope of ending up a well adjusted member of society. Oh, with Sherrod Brown giving the commencement address, an influence that made it more of an up hill battle for them to be sufficiently productive to pay off their student loans.

    Is it education so much? Or is it more "indoctrination". I lean to the later. I encountered a few of them in my journey. More at the grad level than undergrad. Frankly, the ideologues are more likely to be more lazy and hence only teach in the grad/PHD levels.. But your sentiment is akin to ideological grooming. And while we see democrats actively, eager even to get access for their grooming, it is still revolting...

    Hmm.. so you weren't spouting a fact? You sure represented it as a fact. Nice back pedal though. Of course, being an opinion, it doesn't come with any weight with it. Feel free not to cite it in the future as if it suddenly became a fact, as is so common in how modern journalism works today.

    People just need to get over themselves. Sometimes we get so worked up emotionally—especially over politics—that we can’t see that whatever’s got us all upset is really just a non-issue.

    The haters just can't let this kid go can they? He's beaten them at every turn, disproved the false narratives cast on him by a lying media and uniformed public and walks away from it all with some money for savings. Funniest thing is that he's only a thorn on they're side because they want him to be, the fixation they have on this boy is some of the saddest stuff iv'e seen, they really need a life...

    Why can ACLU guy exercise his right to free speech, but you have a problem with Nick Sandmann doing the same? Hypocritical much? Think about it...

    wow! You have a whole different scenario for the Indian guy. He was an activist agitator. He came into Sandmann’s space and to his face playing his little instrument. Sandmann stood his ground and good for him. Read up about the Indian guy. He was NO innocent; he lied about himself; and he certainly was NOT trying to defuse the situation. He was hoping Sandmann would run and he could +Liam some kind of victory.

    Ya know this is really petty. Everyone...the right and left, agree he did nothing wrong. And yet the hatred wont stop. It's really sick.

    No....the indian man was an out and out liar and told a version that was a lie and made out the kid as the aggressor...cnn felt like the indian man had a lot of credibility and didnt fact check his story. Also didnt get the kids side of the story.

    10 years at UVA undergraduate and graduate engineering school did not make me think I'm a genius entitled to look down my nose at lesser intellects. My experience in the nuclear industry and design process consulting across design to order industries was that the experts I dealt with with no degrees towered intellectually over the Democrats with degrees in identity politics.

    If some people didn't have hateful thoughts, they'd have no thoughts at all. I hope Sandmann's attorney is preparing a case against the ACLU Foundation to claw away their tax exempt status. We don't need to be subsidizing hate mongering. We see enough of that with the haters appropriating the BLM cause to hide from the law.

    I was most upset upon learning that Transylvania University actually exists that their mascot isn't a bat.

    I did want to add though because I forgot in my earlier post, Nick Sandmann has every right to attend college and should not be discriminated against.

    Isn't the ACLU supposed to protect the rights of Sandmann?

    The democrats used Russian disinformation that they paid for to accuse Trump of colluding with Russia.

    Antifa calls themselves anti-fascist, while using fascist tactics to suppress free speech, and terrorize the general public, destroy property, arson, rioting and assaulting the police and executing opponents in the street.

    Democrats support big government authoritarianism (nationalized health care, Green New Deal) while calling Republicans, who are for individual liberty and decentralized government, authoritarian and fascist.

    See the pattern here? Democrat always accusing Republicans of what they are actually doing.

    The same is true for racism btw. Critical race theory = white supremacy.
