Hate
(Students at CRLS)
This isn’t funny but it certainly is interesting. My little sister just told me the Westboro Baptist Church is coming to her public high school in Cambridge to protests gay students. Their website (http://www.godhatesfags.com/) has pictures of kids holding incredibly rude and violent posters. One, for example, reads “Aids cures fags.” I’m all about freedom of speech but isn’t their some legal precedent from stopping angry and hurtful mobs from accosting school children? It is horrifying that children at a public school in the United States, where all are created equal and supposed to be given equal opportunity rights will be bullied by adults and children for doing nothing except for peacefully being themselves. Some internet research also brought me to youtube where “westboro baptist church protests” shows a movie of protestors at a soldier’s funeral. These people are definately crossing some lines but what should the high schoolers do about it?
