Video: Oakland High students speak out against repression

by Jeff Paterson, Not in Our Name (jeff [at] paterson.net)
Oakland High School students led a lunchtime speak out today to protest repression on campus. Student leaders took the microphone to blast Principle Monk’s responses to student organizing, including: suspending students who passed out fliers about student anti-war walkouts, installing barbed wire on fences to prevent students from climbing them during walkouts, silencing dissent in classroom discussions, and eagerly cooperating with the Secret Service to come into the school and interrogate two students without even notify their parents. A few parents of Oakland High students and progressive teachers joined the speak out to support freedom of speech on campus.

What ever happened to the constitutional rights of freedom of speech?

As an Australian I am amazed at the inhumanity of the law officers in your country and the lack of respect for the Constitution of The United States America!

Even Australians know that no matter what your state or city says you have a constitution that was written to defend the democratic rights of the freedom of speech in the Untited States, the only confusing issue to is the wording "Untited States" when every State has a seperate law and believes it to be different to each other State.

When it comes to oppression of the people because of colour well they tried it here too in Australia, yes it still is tried by some, but we revert back to the Constitution and right to speak out and equality of all men/women Differnece is in Australia we have to interpret our Constitution and yours is written in black and white and is still not complies with.

Maybe the law offices should sit with law officers and make sure they understand the wording of the Constitution of The United States of America.
