Seemingly,I am always in need of opinions.
Well,now it is a matter of human rights and protests.At my high school there has come a new pricipal and many dread him but many others hate him.He is kind of a strict person:he is making us wear uniforms,he doesn't allow coming late for class or leaving lessons(these were kind of popular at our school),he also banns everyone he finds with a cigarette in school.Ok,my friends don't have what to say about these things,because,even if they don't agree,he is within the law and actually doing the right thing.What they have found as an exuse for a protest is another story.
So,a couple of weeks ago some students stole 21 classbooks(while according to my calculations there are 41 in total)and the first suspects were the studens with a lot of absences;they were afraid of a probable ban from school.People say that the prinicpal took this suspects to the police and there they were beaten up.They were beaten up,it is a proved fact,but the principal had nothing to do with it.Of course,what kind of people would beat up some 17 year old boys,but that is the problem of the system,of the police,of the Internal Ministry.After all,the police has the right to take any suspects in for questioning(not beating,but as I said,that is another story).Now,my friends say that he couldn't allow the police to get in while these kids were in class and that he should have stayed in the station to see how they were treated.In the end,my class decided as a whole,with the exeption of me and a couple of other people,that they should organize a protest for the whole school.They even gave away "tracts" today.
My reasons not to agree with this are many.First of all,the school is an institution that belongs to the state so the state police has the right to get inside anytime.Secondly,once a suspect,you are bound to go to the station for questioning,Thirdly,if the principal was asked who he thought were suitable suspects,it is his right,or even obligation,to say the names.That is not called taking you to the police!!And then,the principal certainly has not ordered them to be beaten up!Or even if he has,we have no proof!
I find all this an anarchist act.Not the good,old,noble anarchism of the 18th ceuntry but a desire for caos.Ah,and they are the last ones to call themselves democrates,since when I tried to express my opinion,I was nearly thrown out of the window.So much for requiring your rights...
I am wondering,what do you all think?This is a matter to discuss and I still don't know whether to insist that the protest is not right in this case(you must know that I am very fond of protests in general)or stay put and see how everything turns out to be.
