I mean you are the same guys that complain about Jamie Foxx's jokes and how he shouldn't be able to say them.

Westboro Baptist says tons of perverted things, yet, they aren't arrested. Why? Their speech, while perverted and twisted, is protected.

These students yell "USA", which by the way is LEGAL AND PROTECTED SPEECH, and they get in trouble. Complete and utter bullsh!t.

If I call a teacher a b*tch, which is legal, I would get suspended too.

Except I'm not a "lefty." Cheering for your country when it's a team from your own country is stupid. What kind of foolishness is that? LOL.
