A Missouri high school that suspended a student for making critical comments about Islamic extremism says he’s not allowed to appeal the finding of wrongdoing.

Senior Alex Lonsdale, a member of Liberty High’s nationally ranked debate club, says he was just trying to have a friendly debate.

During his free period Oct. 17 at the public school near Kansas City, Lonsdale joined a spontaneous conversation among acquaintances about the nature of Islam.

But taking Christians to task for the Crusades are OK.

Apparently Alex has learned that some subjects are not open to debate.

Truth is more hated than Lies by the ignorant and godless (our Constitution now). Truth was banned in the late 60s from the public schools and public spaces. Our “justice” system is now a vice system, where Good is Evil, Vice is Virtue, and Girls can be Boys or visa versa.

“You initiated a 35-minute conversation trying to prove that Faraz’s entire religion was about terrorism,” wrote Miles.

Islam has been about Terrorism and Death since it’s inception.

School officials say students “need to be responsible, they are young adults,” she said. “And then they treat them like babies.”

The school is treating them like baby snowflakes. Snowflakes in training. Snowflake indoctrination.

For shame the school doesn't have a safe space for little Mohamed to run crying to. That should be the focus of the article. It's discrimination not to have a safe space for those who can't handle the truth.

Hopefully, Lonsdale already has his college acceptance so this won't be a factor. Love his attitude that he got his work done while in detention. Guess it would be a bad idea to wear a t-shirt to school stating, "I'm social cue challenged."

Islam is being exposed for the evil death cult it is
There’s a lot of resistance to the truth coming out
Mohammed was a truly evil satanic man. There’s no hiding it
Good source of Islamic terror history. Www.prophetofdoom.net
Those of us that after 9-11 started wondering why they hate us learned
Bottom line. Islam itself must be eradicated from the planet
Only then will there be peace
