A teen was sent home for wearing a pro-equality T-shirt. Her school compared it to a swastika.

22. It's a funny view.

"My offense and pain is always worse than your offense and pain. And if you disagree, it just shows how right I am."

However, the school was not equating them in any moral sense. It was saying, "Given our policy, if we allow this political expression that gives offense then we must, because the policy must be implemented even-handed in a content-neutral way, allow something that others would find even more offensive."

Of course, nobody wants to read it that way because saying they're "equated" when in a real sense they are parallel (but not in the way most people want to understand) because outrage is fun. Believe the worst of others, and it's easy to see one's own superiority.
