I have no trouble with you calling them out on it: I'm glad you
  did, as I was getting a one-sided view.

  Now I have the other side.

  The thing is: Both sides are saying, "Our values are being
  attacked".

  I'm just saying, "Stick with the plan. American Secularism for
  all of its flaws, works." We have a working status quo already.

  Escalation to "hate crimes" just plays into group v group
  fighting. At the same time, I believe in equal freedom of
  speech.

  If you want to express your opinion that this is a hate crime,
  they too have the right to express that they believe it was a
  hate crime.

  I just think teachers should be more careful.... and I wish
  media would stop fueling this stuff. I got sucked into it too
  but my take was on teacher flaw.
