Constitutional speech stays visible

RepWatchr does not hide lawful viewpoint disagreement. Ranking can change, but lawful comments are not shadow banned because they are unpopular.

Evidence gets preference

Verified officials, verified parents/residents, named journalists, public-source links, and direct answers rank above anonymous or unsourced comments.

Illegal content is different

Threats, doxxing, spam, private student data, and unlawful harassment are moderation issues, not political disagreement.
