Except that Oprah could have realized what Erin was going through and made her producers make a back-up plan where if Erin still seemed too resistant, Oprah could have insisted that she not go on to do the interview and instead run reel tape of what Erin had gone through, had a psychologist on to discuss what happened…

“And we want to treat this with the seriousness it deserves, so we’re going to put you on GMA. Your segment would be between Rachel Ray and the winner of the Westminster Dog Show.”

The whole system is designed that way and has been from the beginning. In the Federalist Papers, Alexander Hamilton basically said common people were too stupid to vote. That’s why we have an electoral college. So people smarter than you or I can decide who’s best to govern.

What force??? She’s not hurting anyone. She’s interrupting a, likely, shitty meaningless class. Just drag the desk into the hall and talk with her there while class continues. Holy shit people.

If dude could bench 600, he could have picked her up in her desk and carried the whole thing out.

I love how white men that claim to live in fear of ‘government tyranny’ and believe that it is righteous to rebel against it are the first ones to insist that all black people should strictly obey every police officer like a submissive dog.

It’s subjective, of course, but I don’t see those kids as shocked. Most of them are just trying not to look at what’s going on.

Imagine a cop did this to your kid. In fact, imagine anyone did this to your kid.

The first time I saw this, I was shocked at how she flew across the floor. On the second viewing, I got really sad at the lack of reaction from the other students. They’ve seen this shit before. Look at them. They barely flinch. I would have been out of my mind if this happened in my suburban, lily white high school.
