How do you get that from what is being said in this thread?
Well, the most glaring example in this situation would be that the liberal teacher thought it appropriate to offend the beliefs of students, that as one poster put it, to "force" them to consider those beliefs. The teacher I would think, among other things consider this as an exercise in 'free speech' as much as anything else. But, when the offended student approaches the teacher and complains, and informs the teacher that he will be lodging a complaint higher up the school chain, then the teacher files an accusation of 'threat' against the student....So, with that in mind seems to me that the teacher wants 'free speech' to be able to offend at will, and no one should speak up against it...
Think of it this way....When the guy in Michigan was at a Union rally against RTW laws being passed, and was attacked by the Union thugs, apparently 'free speech' only went one way in the minds of many liberal supporters of the union thugs actions in here. Same thing, on a different scale admittedly but still.
