One thing that I thought was shocking is that this one lady is telling Marcus and his classmates that it's ok to suspend the Bill of Rights... those are supposed to be our UNALIENABLE rights. We are always supposed to be protected by those no matter what, and this Charles kid that gives this lady ideas of when they should be taken away is really pissing me off. He should be supporting his rights not siding with the government on such a crazy idea as losing those rights.

I don't get why the government sent this lady to talk to them about it either. I guess they're trying to justify what they're going to do or have already done but kids can be very vulnerable when it comes to their rights and what they can and can't do. Like if you tell a little kid that he can't hit people he knows he shouldn't hit people, but if you tell that kid to not eat cereal, the kid might think that's wrong too even though there is nothing wrong with that. People might think that it's ok for the government to take those rights away, which it isn't.

This has never happened to me and I don't think that ever will, hopefully. I just can't imagine a situation where the government would ever have to do that. If that did happen I would be so angry, that is just not ok to do. The government has no right to do that to its people and it really shouldn't have to. There shouldn't be a time when the people are suspected so much as to where the government has to take away rights in order to find potential terrorists or whatever.
