I just called the school and left a message for the principle, telling him that he was a real asshole for crumpling up this kid's speech and trying to censor him.

Cool -- I haven't especially been on social media for a couple weeks, but this sounds like the kind of thing that would bring a huge shitstorm upon the school authorities. I guess I was a little surprised that this got your dander up, though.

Having somewhat conservative tastes in pop culture doesn't mean a person can't be progressive on social/cultural issues. Pete Seeger tried to pull the plug on Dylan at Newport, but I doubt anyone ever questioned his lefty bonafides. Frankly, this is the kind of thing that should get anyone's "dander up."
