EDIT: Fuck it, not worth the reply.
I think its the best of both worlds.
It ruins their lives AND makes them hate the establishment even more.
Violence forever.

Being booted from a school, cut from a team, or losing your scholarship won’t make you learn anything. It will just make you resentful for the assholes who went after your livelihood because you said something they found offensive.
If you agree with that, you’re in luck because I think that’s where the nation is going. Be wary, though. The next time you raise your voice to someone, be it because they ran into your car with their own or some old lady cut you line at the grocery store, you may end up losing everything you’ve worked for.
both. both the sloppy and obviously aggressive “journalism” just looking to start shit and ruin some lives for what? some hits on their website? although, looking around the site, that seems to be exactly the kind of “reporting” they do. One article is nothing other than tweet quotes of angry republicans from the elections and response gifs of people laughing. top tier shit
and to the kids as well. To see the stuff people STILL PURPOSEFULLY say on the internet despite MANY stories of people getting shit for what they say on social media…its facepalm/smh/lol-inducing.
Why would you even want to say that stuff on a website where you’re just talking to friends and family. Don’t they know to just say shit on forums instead?
Yeah this…
Hence why I ate my own words. Posted before I thought it out fully.
I don’t know that I would take the entire responsibility off the kids though. They’re generally in high school and should know better.
No reason to call any of this journalism. You shouldn’t be that disrespectful to the people who do serious journalism.
^basically. i mean after all, this is the internet and any asshole with an opinion can create a website and act like it’s a news site.
…that’s what I did. Thanks for hurting my feelings.
What else would you expect from Kotaku’s and Gawker’s feminist cousin?
Combo videos?
People like me? It goes against the schools code of conduct, it’s no different than them goign out and getting hammered in public and getting caught by some adult who tattled. Yeah it was a dick move on the websites part, but it’s the kids fault for being stupid.
I don’t think he’s implying that they shouldn’t be reprimanded, but rather that public exploit isn’t the best way to go about it.
Kids have been stupid since the dawn of time. Should that stupidity have a permanent impact on their future when it hurt no one? They’re only words. I found it disgusting, but instead of stripping these kids of their accomplishments and slamming them with Internet justice they should be shown why what they said was reprehensible.
Lol. I’d pay to see 50 get his shit pushed in. He’s been talkin trash for far too long now. It’ll be the easiest $5 mil Mayweather has ever made
I’m not white. Read the article I posted. Many schools started the disciplinary process AFTER the journalist started questioning them.
Another political post. Rush Limbaugh said this today. I swear I’m done supporting the GOP.
I think if the GOP wants to gain ground again, they need to stop associating themselves with Fox News and Rush Limbaugh.
Just my theory on that.
they are all high school kids and i doubt it will be a “permanent impact” at worst they’ll be put on atheltic suspension for a couple games. I see no stripping of accomplishments in the article other than some potential walk on not going to be allowed because he didn’t make the academic qualifications for the school anyways.
i’m not disagreeing that it was a shitty thing to do but i’m fairly certain this won’t destroy their lives.
Sidenote - anyone else not surprised that this shit stirring article was written by a woman?
of course the school was forced to deal with it. Again the disciplinary actions will probably amount to little more than a “you should know better…”
Funny thing about Rush Limbaugh: the dude is deaf. Try and process that shit.
The problem with the GOP is that their outward message is about fucking over the country. How can you have a party which cockblocked the Dream Act seriously think that the children of immigrants were going to vote for them? Both parties are bad at doing productive things but holy damn do the republicans go hard with the stupid.
Pretty offensive of him to use Jose Feliciano’s song in that way.
