He's not being arrested for being a rapist though. He's being arrested for helping Chelsea Manning expose war crimes.

the only reason he was arrested was because he was publishing things that were embarassing to the president of ecuador, who was the person who could choose to shield assange or not via diplomatic immunity

He's being arrested for not cleaning out his cat's litter box and refusing to shower.

Remember when Julian Assange hinted that murdered DNC staffer Seth Rich was the guy who leaked the DNC emails to him, which he used in coordination with the Trump campaign to aid in his election

He got arrested for jumping bail over the Swedish extradition request.

The Met then re-arrested him in conjunction with the American extradition request being sent through diplomatic channels, and when Sweden reactivates theirs, he’ll be arrested again. That’s how it works.

Odds are the UK government will take the easier extradition to do; i.e. the one to an EU country for a non-political crime where the defendant has exhausted all appeals.

Do American schools have all the kids in a classroom read the same book and then the teacher talks about it with the class?

That was exactly what we did in my poor redneck Ohio public school system. Every grade except 8th grade was just reading from Elements of Literature and then maybe one or two entire class novels. 8th grade still had Elements of Literature but the teacher also, probably out of pocket, had a shitload of books that were in groups of 4. The class would divide into groups and pick books from her library to read. They weren't exactly winners though with me reading: Down a Dark Hall, Doomstone, The Hot Zone, and Alive. But it was more freedom than we got in any other grade.

Here's to the new us.
Assange was a piece of poo poo who actively perverted Wikileaks into its current role as a front for the Russian government. He pushed out the other original members of Wikileaks and forced them to sign NDA's so they wouldn't talk about his fuckery. He openly criticized the people who leaked the Panama Papers. He helped support the rising tide of fascism across the world. And yeah, he almost certainly raped and sexually assaulted two women in Sweden.

But hey, he released some bad poo poo about the Iraq war twelve years ago (and didn't edit out the names of Iraqi citizens), so therefore he's a true crusader for justice and transparency.

You can have a gay character, but they have to be killed off to show that being gay is inherently tragic/leads to ruin. It was really explicit in the old pulp gay romances, and a strong subtextual reading in more literary stuff like A Separate Peace. Nowadays the big moral lesson has faded away, but it's still a popular thing to do for some cheap drama, especially for lesbian characters.
