Talking about political views is a TERRIBLE idea here and frankly inappropriate. You are either a newly created Anon account or a first time CD user. If this is your first time here trust me in telling you a political discussion will turn sour very quickly.
OK, I won't bring up any current politics but I will bring the thread back to what it was originally about: FIRST vs Free Speech. I was told that the actions of one person should not represent all of FIRST, which I agree with.

But now everybody on here is telling me to hush-hush with how I believe this volunteer was behaving inappropriately, and surely everyone on here is part of the FIRST community. So now a group of people representative of the FIRST community are also trying to squash free speech. Doesn't this just prove exactly what I was claiming in the original post?
