I do believe he should have chosen his words with care. This was, after all, a high school audience. At least half, if not more, were minors. Mr. Savage is an adult. His judgment was flawed. He, of all people, should understand that Christian extremists would attack whatever message he delivered. His inappropriate vocabulary merely gave to them exactly what they wanted all along. He played right into their hands. <br /><br />As to the student walkout: they left peacefully and without disrupting the speech. They were within their rights. It wasn't that large of a group. Mr. Savage should simply have ignored the walkout. They wanted their action to attract attention. Once again, he reacted exactly as the bigots hoped.Roger Poladopouloshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17066431272489975794noreply@blogger.com
