If You're On The Left, You're Open-Minded; If You're On the Right, You're Intolerant

Dennis Prager does such a good job of summing up what many of us already know:

"The Connecticut branch of the ACLU, the Connecticut Civil Liberties Union (CCLU) 'informed the Windsor Locks (CT) School District that it would face (legal) action if education officials chose to allow a presentation by clergy at Windsor Locks High School on homosexuality and related topics.'

The high school had previously invited a gay activist organization, the Stonewall Speakers, to address students on homosexuality and same-sex marriage. In order to attempt to present an alternate view, the school then invited clergy to speak to the students.

Because 'the clergy was supposed to offer a view based on religious scripture,' Annette Lamoreaux, a legal director of the CCLU, 'reported that the clergy presentation could violate the Establishment Clause of the United States Constitution and the Connecticut Gay Rights Law, which prohibits discrimination based upon sexual orientation. . . . She added that it would have violated the rights of gay and lesbian students to equal protection . . .'

Here is another 'smoking gun' illustrating the secular and leftist brainwash American children receive throughout their school life. For no defensible educational reason -- especially given the poor general education that so many Americans receive -- a public school invited gay activists to address students on behalf of same-sex marriage. But clergy defending man-woman marriage are not allowed to be invited."
