The socialization skills a child is able to learn in a public school system allows them to contribute to political…

like this really show a movements true colors and these type of actions show that this movement is led by a group of uneducated, narcissistic, hypocrites. These people care only about themselves.

very disappointing to see the measures people will take to satisfy someone they love, but they do not realize the severe amount of harm they are causing to someone else. Everyone should be treated equally. Although everyone is granted their right to freedom of speech, many people struggle to while trying to exercise their rights because of their age, lack of knowledge, and fear of being judged. First and foremost, there are parents who control every aspect of their child’s life while some…

There are things in this world that exist only to allow one to attain power. To rise above adversaries, one must eliminate all that stands in the way. Murder, destruction, and slavery, all subsist to serve that purpose. In our lives today, and many centuries past, there has been one other despicable sin that has too frequently been overlooked: The banning of books.

With all of the limitations and restrictions currently found on public university campuses, students are being sheltered and living within a bubble of comfort, which will ultimately pop after graduation. By keeping college students from exposure to the world and what is going on from all different sides, they are kept from forming their own opinions and kept from learning how to handle opposition from others.
