You **Don’t** Say

When I was a child, shortly after the earth cooled, we were taught in school all about the US constitution with emphasis in the rights spelled out in it.

I’ve never understood the contradiction in our Great Democratic Principles and the reality that seemingly every protest is treated like an affront to the Constitution itself.

And so we see, again for the billionth time, how student protests require a militarized police response because heaven forfend! our overlords and their knights be perturbed by someone speaking truth.

We are bedeviled by our own ideals and it would be nice if for once we actually embodied them. Instead of letting weak minded warriors play “hero” by using force to shut up their fellow citizens.
