SIGNS: Boy Wins Case to Recite Poem With Profanity
Here's a good example of expressed 1st Amendment Rights. The school was trying to reprimand usage of "Hell" and "Damn."
In fact, it's not even Psychic anymore. It's really rooted in Science.
I said there was a court case in New Orleans where some cops were beating up someone named Davis. I had rotated the names and the Program to where Davis was my character. I wasn't even actively using Davis' name at the time.
THe point being made is that just because the name Davis surfaces in the news where he's getting beat up doesn't necessarily mean that it's about Rod picking on Davis. I even said that people could stage things.
Once people know about the Decryption Code, you could get FAKERS where someone named Davis could get paid off to roleplay a scene where that individual Davis is getting beat up or harassed by someone else with a "Rod" name.
The only reason why things are working now is because no one is aware of the embedded code. Because people are unaware that they're leaking information and have special tags, they're acting as they normally would.
However, once people discover it, they'll change their behavior and find ways to mask or hide this. It's like people realizing that Superman can't see through lead and all the houses being made with Lead lining so Superman can't peer into your house.
Boy Wins Case to Recite Poem With Profanity

RENO, Nev. (April 14) - A federal judge gave a ninth-grader permission Thursday to recite a poem at a state competition that his school objected to, claiming it contained profanity.
The words "hell" and "damn" in W.H. Auden's "The More Loving One," do not constitute offensive language that could disrupt the school's educational priorities, said U.S. District Judge Brian Sandoval.
He issued a temporary restraining order sought by Jacob Behymer-Smith, 14, after school administrators at the Coral Academy of Science told him he could not use the poem in future competitions.
The teen intends to recite it April 22 during Poetry Out Loud, a contest sponsored by the National Endowment of the Arts and the Poetry Foundation.
In granting the injunction, Sandoval said there was "a total absence of any evidence" that the school's prohibition was legal under the U.S. Constitution and that the teen likely would be able to prove his First Amendment rights were being violated.
Academy attorney John Ohlson said Sandoval's ruling was not unexpected. He had argued the issue was not about free speech, but the schools' ability to set educational standards.
Behymer-Smith selected his poem from an anthology of preapproved works by contest sponsors.
A day after he recited the poem at a district contest April 5, academy human resources dean Steven West reprimanded his English teacher and others for the performance. West then told the teen to select another poem because the Auden work contained profanity, according to court documents.
In a hearing Wednesday, the teen told the judge he's practiced the poem twice a day for two months, and that forcing him to choose another would be unfair.
