Freedom of speech? Racist or not, putting someone in jail for saying something is ridiculous. If the article didn't mention England, I'd assume this is Iran, Russia, or some other anti-freedom country. This is some bizarre thing to do to a 19 year old kid who clearly wasn't educated well enough to understand what he is saying. 19 is young, instead of throwing him in the locker, they should've given him maybe some community work. How is this different than Turkey's president Erdogan throwing people in jail for tweeting stuff about him? This is nuts.

>I'd assume this is Iran, Russia, or some other anti-freedom country. Hate speech, in particular targeting ethnic or religious groups is an offense in virtually every democratic country, so that's a weird leap to make. >How is this different than Turkey's president Erdogan throwing people in jail For starters we're not talking about arbitrary exercise of authority here but straight forward application of the rule of law.
