Will the Godless Left ever quit censoring Christians?
Sadly, the short answer is: NO. It's their nature. It's one of the defining components of Leftist ideology. We may as well ask a fish not to swim.
Here's another recent case of academic stupidity (or is it intolerant intimidation disguised as innocent ignorance?) : (http://www.aclj.org/trialnotebook/read.aspx?id=191) It would nice if we could just chalk this up to the fact that it's happening in California. Where else, eh? Or that it's just a community college, not some major league university. But that would be letting this teacher off the hook too easily. This old canard (context-wise) "...the separation of church and state has to be respected" is so often misused that it can't be an innocent misunderstanding of the "establishment clause" in our Constitution. I believe it's an intentional abuse of academic authority.
There was another case last week about yet another graduation speech that was squelched by yet another ignorant or intolerant school administrator because the student wanted to credit her faith in God as an integral part of her success and motivation to excel. Every damn spring now we can expect some idiotic school official perscuting some student for daring to mention God in a speech.
I will search further for that specific story and post it, and I will be posting soon on the First Amendment's establishment clause, with my take on the confusion...
