The imbecilic inmates are now running the insane asylum.

(My antique computer was unable to cope with the proffered link, so I haven't read the story.)
Whether the school principal was or was not "insensitive," firing him demonstrates that his right to a freely-held opinion seems gone with the wind.
It demonstrates to me that our society-wide collective right to freely-held and -voiced opinions are also long gone, and that experienced authority has become meaningless.

Further, and more disturbing, I note that the right of an immature and ignorant child to argue with, and defy, necessary authority at the moment when that authority is truly needed has taken precedent over the rational authority of the police, the community, the state, and the nation.
Even if the cop was wrong in what he did, at the moment of necessity it was both stupid and socially counter-productive to offer him any sort of argument or defiance. We are still a society in which temporary compliance, followed by formal complaint and even appeal to judicial process, is a meaningful remedial process.
