- Teen was told to delete the image of a celebrity on his computer because it “offended” his teacher.
- The student handbook does not allow ANY person’s image that represents opinions on “social or political issues”.
- Meanwhile there are images of famous people on many kids’ computers at the school.
Social media and its celebrities are constantly in our kids’ faces. The heated political climate combined with the seemingly never-ending pandemic has proven one narrative gets the green light, celebrity or not.
Certain podcast giants, be it rare, have challenged pandemic hypocrisies. One personality our son admires for his flashy cars and entrepreneurship fell into this category.
As a family who has acted locally regarding covid restrictions, we found this man’s comments on this topic innocent and entertaining.
The day came when our son was told to delete the image of this celebrity on his computer because it “offended” his teacher.
Turns out the student handbook does not allow ANY person’s image that represents opinions on “social or political issues”. Do people like that exist? Mickey Mouse doesn’t even qualify in this day in age.
Meanwhile there are images of famous people on many kids’ computers at the school. It begs the question of who an acceptable person of interest is and who is not.
We think an image of Dr Shiva Ayyadurai, inventor of email, is next on the list to grace our son’s screensaver. This will be fun.
