The most interesting part of it was the dialogue it created when you posted it on your Instagram account.

I thought someone in the building might get upset, I didn’t realize part of the city would get upset. A mob came in of like 30 people, parents and teachers, and they were like take it down. I was like ‘listen guys this is an open debate,’ and it got pretty deep. I was like ‘a lot of you have accents, why did you move here? I bet some of you moved here because you weren’t able to speak and express yourself, that’s why my family moved here, and a lot of others moved here, and I think it’s interesting that you’re coming here and telling us to limit ourselves.’ When I said it was freedom of speech, they said freedom has its limits. That’s a really interesting comment, and an interesting way to think. The last phone call I got about the show was a guy threatening to put a brick through my window. So we extended the show of course, for another four weeks. I posted it on Instagram and I was like what do you all think of this? Everyone gave their responses and everyone was unanimously in favor of it. It made me start to realize there are these people in the world that are closed. And they’re closed off, and they’re either ashamed of themselves, they have very strict beliefs that they can’t get past, or they have very very very deep rooted opinions on things that can’t possibly be their own. They’re so old, these ideas, that there’s no way a young person would grow up and think them on their own without it being influenced by someone older. Brion Isaacs [Brion Isaacs]
