History judges harshly those who try to crush freedom of expression in children.
The scenes from Butere Girls High School this week were appalling.
The poet in Pheroze Nowrojee, who died recently, would have been incensed.
I also suspect he would have been deeply proud of the girls' principled stand. "Echoes of war" was a little-known play before the Butere High School Principal was instructed to stop her students from submitting it for this year's Kenya Schools and Drama Festival.
