Amos Yee is set to give his first ever public talk at Harvard.

Yee is a teenager from Singapore who has recently been granted political asylum in the US. He was in trouble with the Singaporean regime for repeatedly criticizing the country's late founder, Lee Kuan Yew. His treatment has been marginally better in the US. Although he was granted asylum by the US back in March, he was held in US jail until late September where he ran in to difficulties for his ongoing criticism of Islam. Currently, he is banned from Facebook for alleged, unspecified "community standards" violations. His videos are available on YouTube.

    That word I don't think it means what you think it means... female teachers have committed plenty of rape or socially forced sex if you want to be specific about it.

    but let us not talk about power and violence because then we would have to talk about the state and people that are doing violence to everyone

    no capitalism does not lead to violence and evil

    no wait flip that

    Nobody was talking about grown women having sex with kids. Maybe you should read all the words before replying.
