That this episode could occur anywhere is ominous evidence of just how determined our progressive-infested institutions are determined to indoctrinate rising generations.
Gabby Stout, a junior at Ardrey Kell High School in Charlotte, North Carolina, and part of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools district, received permission from the school to paint a message on the school’s “spirit rock.” This is a large boulder on school grounds traditionally used by students to paint various opinions and messages. They don’t have to be wise or uncontroversial either: one such message was “Black Lives Matter.”
Stout painted a Bible passage and her support for the recently assassinated Christian conservative leader of Turning Point USA, Charlie Kirk. For reasons never explained (but you can guess, can’t you?) the school quickly reversed itself. Within hours the school officials ordered her message to be painted over.
Ethics Alarms 
I’ve never understood the ethics of suing a government for damages. You are vicariously telling your fellow citizens to fork over cash because the government did you wrong.
I can better understand the ethics of suing the government for the removal of the officials who did the wrong.
And yes I understand when there are real damages that cost a the victim, compensation is fair. But I can’t fully square it with essentially re-appropriating taxes destined for some other public service.
Seems like a good racket. You and a buddy can conspire to obtain government positions and then one of you will play the villain and the other the clear victim. The longer you can make the villain actions ongoing, the higher the eventual settlement will be. Then you both can head down to Costa Rica with the newfound wealth which will be much higher than a dozen years in government service.
Like the joke of the guy who robs several million from the bank. Hides it. Serves his 10 years in prison, gets out and has more money than he would have had working or investing.
I agree that the firing of the government employees would be preferable, but I’m guessing the lawyers that handle cases like this are doing it for a cut of the payout. Regardless of how satisfying it would be to get the offenders fired, I doubt anyone wants to pay thousands of dollars to get it done. I don’t know why they don’t go for both.
Or do governments actually have “insurance”?
This undermines trust in school authorities, which is essential for schools to function.
