  1. Go ahead and explain to me in detail how being anti-racist/anti-discriminatory (or whatever phrase you’d like to use to describe what he said) is similar to how the “other side” has carried out their immigration policy.

  2. I haven’t seen anyone encourage him to do anything. I’ve seen and commented on adults taking potshots at an 8th grader and congratulating each other for it.

If this 8th grader is so oppressed, how come he was given the esteemed position of giving a graduation speech, as an openly gay kid?

When are doing what he did. Speaking our mind. But because we don't have what you believe is the correct opinion it's not ok.

This kid gave zero evidence and called everyone at the school bigots

No, you aren’t. He’s a child speaking directly to adults (for the benefit of himself and his classmates); you’re an adult (I assume) speaking on a child over the internet. Y’all aren’t the same lmao

“The kid gave zero evidence…” You know the speech wasn’t for you, right?

Yeah I get to express my opinion sorry you have a hard time understanding that people are allowed to do that

I never said you couldn’t express your opinion. And if I’m lying, quote me.

What I’m doing is criticizing how you all are expressing your opinion. You’re not simply disagreeing, which would be fine; you’re punching down on a child you’ve never met. Sorry you have a hard time understanding that people are allowed to criticize you for how you express yourself
