Shameless · Season 1, Episode 15

School principal, Sammi and others in “Unfinished Business”

Mr. and Mrs. Slott--

Gallagher for me.

SPSchool principal 1

Your grandson Charles tried to read a very offensive book report to Mr. Schwiebert's class.

The boy doesn't know what he's saying.

Our grandson is a little slow between the ears.

SPSchool principal 2

Your grandson seems to believe that he's a Nazi. Any ideas where he's getting that from?

Most likely other Nazis.

SPSchool principal 1

Charles received a suspension as a lesson for his behavior and a failing grade on the paper.

His shit-for-brains mother couldn't pass gas, let alone middle school. My grandson wrote an entire report here and you're gonna fail him for this?

Hey, I read it. A couple of grammatical things here and there. He didn't remember to capitalize Auschwitz, but the kid can write.

SPSchool principal 2

Hitler's diatribe on Aryan superiority is not an appropriate theme for a sixth grade book report.

Did you tell the class they couldn't write about Nazis?

SPSchool principal 2

Well, usually, they're not writing from the Nazi perspective, so no. Look, it's okay to write about mass murders. You just can't side with the mass murderers.

Uh, this is a direct attack on his First Amendment rights, a right, I might add, that belongs to everyone regardless of intelligence deficiencies or possible retardation. Yes, but there are conditions to those rights, like yelling "fire" in a public theater or preaching white supremacy to middle school students.

SPSchool principal 1

Look, we simply can't allow Hitler's hate speech to alienate our diverse student body. We've worked very hard to create an open atmosphere for all our students.

Look, you can't go teaching equality and then get your human rights panties in a bunch when it comes with a couple of wedgies. Every asshole is entitled to his beliefs. That's the yin and the yang of democracy. It's the same freedom that allows you to teach wearing [[w:Kippah|that silly beanie and [[w:Multiculturalism|those Crayola-colored kids]] out there to go to school together. It- it doesn't matter anyway. Pretty soon, there's not gonna be any [[w:Judaism|Jew]] or [[w:Aryan|Aryan]] or [[w:Hinduism|Hindu]] or [[w:Islam|Muslim]] or [[w:Mexican people|Mexican]] or [[w:African American|Blacks]]. There's just gonna be the rich and the fucked, and our grandson is already one of the fucked. So at least let the boy express the degenerate ideas he can actually comprehend, and that, my multicultural friends, [[w:Pledge of Allegiance|is liberty and justice for all]]! Or we could call [[w:United States Attorney General|the attorney general]] and the [[w:American Civil Liberties Union|ACLU]]. I'm sorry, I probably should have started with that.
