The Latest Outrage
THESE are words that got a TN principal suspended
Memphis-area high school principal Barton Thorne was suspended by Shelby County School administrators in January after speaking with his students about the dangers of cancel culture. "I want you to understand the problem that's going to face you and your generation if there is no longer a marketplace, a free exchange of ideas," he told them, urging the students to engage in respectful conversations with those who hold differing opinions. Glenn reads the rest of Thorne's words, and then he discusses with Thorne's attorney, Daniel Suhr from the Liberty Justice Center, how the district administrators can use their IMMENSE mistake as a teaching moment for the students under their charge.
