In Massachusetts, six eighth-grade students are facing criminal charges for making 'hateful and racist comments' in a private online chat group. The charges, described as 'interfering with civil rights,' have sparked a debate over the limits of free speech and the appropriateness of such legal actions against minors. The students, all aged between 12 and 13, reportedly made these comments within a Snapchat group without causing direct harm to anyone. This case has highlighted a contrast with the state's policy of not cooperating with ICE on matters involving illegal aliens accused of crimes, raising questions about legal priorities and the protection of civil liberties.
In Massachusetts they won’t work with ICE when an illegal alien is arrested for committing a crime. Also in Massachusetts they’re charging a group of 8th graders for a racist group chat. Is this how we protect democracy?
