The problem, of course, is that this only goes one direction.
If a student said eating meat was wrong or that gender conformity was stupid, they would face no such discipline.
The UK is of course where you can get arrested for praying.
And don't worry, members from the UK. I'm not just bashing you. Whatever communist bull# you guys are dealing with, the US isn't usually far behind.

The guy on the right got 2 years prison (suspended) on top of 180 hours of community service, he was a minor at the time, the other 3 people involved got much harsher sentences ranging from 5 1/2 years up to 18 years in prison.
You're misinformed. It took me literally 5 minutes to research your post and find out it is false, something you never bothered to do apparently. Sad.

How the hell do you turn a meme about three people into four? Kind of says it all. And do you know the definition of “suspended”? Post isn’t false sparky. Yeah, sad indeed🙄

So he is in the supposed privacy of his own room, and says something and is threatened with expulsion?
I mean in reality, how long is it going to be before our TV's do this to us? or our phones?
"The older I get, the less the threat of prison is a deterrent."
At this rate, 10 years from now, prisons won't be filled with hardened criminals. Just people who "think" wrong.
(according to the 2nd poster's post).
The were 4 people involved in “the” case
the other 3 people involved got much harsher sentences ranging from 5 1/2 years up to 18 years in prison.

Okay, not to be overly picky but isn’t this 3 or 4 different cases? Who are the three people that this poster is claiming got 5 1/2 - 18 yrs? Have I missed something🤷♂️. ….and again there’s only three people in the meme the poster is addressing. One who got no prison time.
the other 3 people involved got much harsher sentences ranging from 5 1/2 years up to 18 years in prison.

My opinion is we have only heard one side of the story.
The event happened 6 years ago and it's only now he has decided to take it to a news paper. It's also clear from even his version that it isnt as straightforward as the headline makes out.

What is wrong with saying gender fluidity is stupid or veganism is nonsense. And I meant publicly and not as part of a private phone conversation.
How this story could be different in your view.

The story is he was disciplined for saying those things.
We only have his version that is what happened.

Let's say it's correct.
There are many other stories similar to this one. Expressing your views gets you fired or disciplined.
