freedom of speech
Okay, so like today is barely the...what? Fourth week of school? And so much has already happened at Gunderson. Just last week, that whole incident in Mr. Miclette's first period became the main "thing" around the school and almost everyone heard about it. But today, in chemistry, things got pretty heated. If the teacher can accuse one student of "bad" behavior and blaming that student for disrupting the class to the point where the student had to be taken to the front office, why couldn't she just send the whole class with the student? The whole class ended up arguing with the teacher anyways but she didn't send anyone else to the front office. It seems more like discrimination to me. I just hate how both of these events that happened within the 2 week period just revolves around discrimination of some sort. I just wish that discrimination could be made illegal all around the world. I just don't understand why humans would hate on each other and make such a big deal out of something like that. I thought that as American citizens, we had the freedom of speech, the right to say whatever we believed without be punished for it. Sadly, that freedom is pretty limited in some particular classes at our school.

I agree love.
Discrimination is a big issue. Although Ms. Miller would like to say that she didn't discriminate, she did. The definition of discriminate is "The unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories of people or things, esp. on the grounds of race, age, or sex." Ms. Miller has had something against Danielle since the very beginning of this year. I think that I did the right thing by standing up for Danielle at time that she couldn't defend herself. That's just what friends do. :]]]]
