For many years Joe Luciani has been a part of the education system. However, a parent heard him speaking to one of his fellow students and reported concerns for the vulgar nature of his language.
Luciani, currently enrolled at a Brampton high school, is being removed after a parent complained about the language he used. Up until recently, Luciani has been an integral part of the educational process for over ten years and is currently fulfilling his role as part of the grade 12 quo.
Contentions for this decision have raised debate about censorship as every person who feels their freedom of expression could potentially be violated is beginning to complain. However, those in favour of removing the student have presented their concern about how students may take offense to the material in Luciani brings to the classroom.
Although we cannot protect our children from the material that they are exposed to, we most certainly cannot take away all material which may be offensive, especially when removing it from an educational facility where the students can learn about why it's offensive and how they should react to it when they see it in the real world.
