>> ... take your kid and get out of our country.
That sentiment has no appropriate place in either our national discourse on the issue or in our discussion here on the ChipBoard. This is their country, too, and they are as entitled to their opinions as you are to yours. In fact, it is adherence to minority opinions and beliefs and the protection of the right to hold such opinions and beliefs for which the First Amendment was written.
-That is fine and I believe in the First Amendment. I also believe it is great that everyone can voice there opinions and beliefs. I in no way mean to 'offend' anyone. What I am concerned about is when the majority caves to every minority opinion. For instance, not being able to fly an American flag in some communities because someone is 'offended'. A sign 'God bless America' ordered removed from another California school sign after September 11 because one parent is 'offended'. What if I am offended when schools want to teach homosexual tolerance to young kids and I am against that? It is against my religion and I am offended but that won't stop the far left from achieving their agendas.
