Indeed, *at present* in the US it may be against the law... but it is moving
rapidly into mainstream accepted thought. Witness the expulsions from
schools for the most minor of "potentially violent" infractions, even among
small children. With *no* actual show of violence at all. Some even
following instructions from teachers - writing things that were assigned but
which happened to frighten somebody, so out they went. Either to suspension
or psychotherapy (read: indoctrination or re-education). :/
