Was this speech by gay rights activist too frank for high school journalists?

Gay rights activist Dan Savage forcefully called out what he says is Christian hypocrisy during his speech at a large, annual conference of high school journalists. 

From the piece: A number of students, including one who appeared to be crying, walked out of the keynote speech after Savage noted, "We can learn to ignore the bull---t in the Bible about gay people."

Watch the 3:21-second video here. Were his comments appropriate for a high school audience?

Rape victim says campus newspaper went too far; I disagree

The newspaper was covering a public event and recounted a story told before a large, public crowd. That happens all the time. If a reporter can't recount a public event, what can she?

Stephen King: Shut up and make the rich pay more because societal needs require more than charity

Stephen King: It's un-American not to tax the rich more

Editor's note: Stephen King did not mince words in that piece at the link, which includes many of the four-lettered sort. If you don't want to read it because of that, his primary point seems to be that it is silly to believe the answer to our problems is to tell the rich people who want to see changes in the tax code to just write an extra check to the IRS.
