Queen Sugar
Tuesdays 8:00 PM on OWNThere's a fine line here Micah, and you crossed it. Next time, be more careful.
Dr. Shore: These things have been accepted for a very long time because they're part of our history.
Micah: Yeah, yes, Dr. Shore, but symbols of a shameful past shouldn't be displayed in a position of honor.
Dr. Shore: You made that quite clear in your letter. Have you ever read much of John Adams? He said the jaws of power are always open to devour, stretched out to destroy the freedom of thinking, speaking and writing.
Micah: Right, but it kind of makes it sound like it was okay to write what I wrote.
Dr. Shore: Freedom of speech is a friend of change and we needed that change around here. I wanted you to be the first to know the sword will be removed along with the other Confederate artifacts, but the school board took issue with the unapproved posting of that letter on school property. In their eyes, it's vandalism. The decision was suspension for 30 days.
Micah: A month?
Dr. Shore: There's a fine line here Micah, and you crossed it. Next time, be more careful.
