Figures. Looks like the usual "inclusive" type lib; that is to say believing in freedom of expression as long as it is in line with her beliefs; otherwise, shut up.

REVERE, Mass. (MyFoxBoston.com) -- A local high school cheerleading captain was disciplined after she sent out a tweet about illegal immigrants.
She says it was a political statement, not a racial one. FOX25 spoke with the teen who says she was taking a page from Donald Trump. Caley Godino is a senior at Revere High School and she says part of their homework is to watch these presidential debates and her tweet was simply about a hot button issue in the headlines.
"When only 10 percent of Revere votes for mayor cause the other 90 percent isn't legal," Godino said in the tweet.
She says it was a response to a tweet from her teacher about the low voter turnout for November's mayoral race. Caley says she meant her tweet as a political comment, not a racial one.
But after other students complained, the school stepped in. Revere Superintendent Dianne Kelly says the district believes in freedom of speech, but cannot support what she calls insensitive language.

You can have freedom of speech, but only if you say the stuff you are allowed to say.
That's it? That isn't even a sentence.
Wow. This is not the America I grew up in.
It is not, and good morning, Mr. Van Winkle. ;) (only teasing with ya)
Every day it just gets worse. Am going to sign off & go back to sleep!! VW!!
Lawsuit and hire a PI to look into the background of Dianne Kelly.
I hear ya! For me it was November 22, just 3 days ago, that I felt it. It was just one story after the other of sheer lunacy. Gonna crawl into my crypt, too, for 20 years or so. Wake me when things are semi-normal again.
None of the school’s business unless she used school equipment to tweet it.
That’s it? That isn’t even a sentence
Well, it is twitter after all. Just be glad she didn’t use “cuz”.
Kelly must go
She is unfit to hold her position.
Where is academic freedom?
Mine was three days ago, too. That’s when I heard about “cultural appropriation.”
Figures. Looks like the usual "inclusive" type lib; that is to say believing in freedom of expression as long as it is in line with her beliefs; otherwise, shut up.
That was part of mine, too! lol.
This message brought to you by the Democrat Party, haters of Free Speech since the mid-19th Century.
The Soviets had an old saying, “Say anything you like. Just don’t say anything you don’t like.”
She appeared on Common Ground??? Your honor I would like to submit exhibit A in defense of the accused.
Free speech as long as its not insensitive. Right.
