Massachusetts State Senator Calls Kids on their Words
by Big Dog on Feb 9, 2007 at 17:30 Uncategorized
Massachusetts State Senator Scott Brown is under fire because he did an unthinkable thing. He read the words that students posted about him on the Internet and he read them to a bunch of students. Brown’s daughter is probably more recognized by people around the country because she was a contestant on American Idol (Ayla Brown) but the Senator got a bit of notoriety this week.
Seems that a couple of school kids wrote some nasty and vulgar things about Brown and some equally nasty things about his daughter. Brown decided to read those to the students and he did not leave out any of the words. Now many of the students and their parents are upset with him because he said those things in front of those delicate, well behaved children. We can’t let the words of those kids be used against them.
Here is the situation as I see it. The kids wrote something that was put on the Internet for the entire world to see. They should expect no special consideration and no one should worry about their feeling being hurt because they were forced to hear their own words. They wrote the words so they should pump out their little bird chests and take the criticism that comes along with their decision.
As for the parents, they should stop blaming Brown for what was done and start looking at their own kids. How dare these parents blame Brown but hold their children blameless. If those kids had not written vulgar things they would not have been read out to all the other students. As for all the teachers who were offended or tried to stop Brown from speaking, shame on them. They should be more concerned about the behavior of the students in their charge and they should be using this as an example of how there are consequences for actions.
Brown is to be commended for having the courage to expose these children and their words. He called them on what they wrote and he made them take responsibility for their actions. If we had more of that in society there would be fewer problems with degenerate children.
