You can't legislate dissent

Russell Pearce, R-Arizona, proposed legislation that would effectively ban dissent "from the values of American democracy and western civilization, including democracy, capitalism, pluralism and religious toleration" in public schools. Republicans are too loose with their terminology while writing laws. This proposal is so broad that they could probably kick a student out of public school for wearing a shirt that said "Dissent is American". And are they going to outlaw the teaching of the American Civil War as well? Because dissent against the government is apparently un-American, even if it's for just reasons. And that's why this bill is bull shit. The people in power are not always the people who are correct, and if the people in power start putting limits on the people who are correct, this great nation can never survive. Plus, I'll be out of a job.
