Well as the two events are about as far apart as possible.. I don't see that what she thought about her life and defining event would have any converging points at all on what a Highschool student who was given specific legal, moral, and ethical instructions for a speaking part in a school event.. Said Student was told the proper path to being able to say what he wanted in the address and was told in advance what would happen if he FAILED to follow those legal, moral and ethical instructions.RX8er wrote:I wonder if Rosa ever thought this way. Just because there are laws, doesn't mean people shouldn't stand up to them.E.Marquez wrote:Ahh, sorry.. to me it reads as a student that figured the rules, clearly presented in advance of the event did not apply to him.
He got a good life lesson, now perhaps he will better understand that the laws and rules presented to him apply.. He may choose to violate them, but personal responsibility will require that he accept the consequences.
If he was not a dishonest person, he would have given the school the speech version he intended to make in advance as required.. But he want to pretend the rules did not apply and make a statement..
I find his actions dishonest and deceitful.
Now if he comes forward and proves he was forbidden from submitting the intended speech, or it was submitted and denied, edited, censored.. that would be different. But the info available at this point shows he simply choose to ignore the guidance and rules laid out for him..
