I'd love to read everybody's conclusion and start with mine
and hope nobody will be offended, please mind that as a European the
concept of free speech is lost on me and that I know zilch about American
or Canadian laws or their constitution. I think we are talking about a medical issue
and not a matter of free speech or opinion . Maybe I'm way off but as a parent
I thought I go to school one afternoon to pick up my son and see another child
with a swastika and/or racist words written with a permanent (!) marker on her/him.
(and I think the meaning of the words are not the first issue but the fact that somebody needs to express his believes by writing on a childs body with a permanent marker)
I would think that the person who did this is, wait for it :
I n s a n e and should be diagnosed as such, maybe with psychosocial disorder, I don't know.
Which would mean that he'll become a ward and be put into the hands
of a legal guardian or better incarcerated into a mental institution so he can't harm
children anymore. Can we agree that writing on a child with a permanent marker is harming the child?
As a ward he is of course prohibited of parenting.
I don't know if that's possible in Canada.
