Yeah, How Dare They Learn to Treat Other Religions Equally?
My school has a Republican club. I do not object to it. Sure, we don't exactly have a Democrat club (yet), but it's an organized body that tries to put its opinions out and has yet to come into direct conflict with the school's ideals, so I encourage its existence.
This, however, I do not.
The institute, based in Charlottesville, Va., also objects to the "uniformity and conformity" required by some schools, says president John Whitehead. It filed suit May 17 against Hudson (Mass.) High School for allegedly tearing down posters for the High School Conservative Clubs of America.
The posters, hung by senior Chris Bowler, were provocative. They touted the clubs' Web site, which links to footage of beheadings at the hands of Islamic extremists. The site says the images show "the true doctrines of Islam put into action."
Oh, that little scamp! There he is, spreading bigotry towards a faith that some of his fellow students might share and encouraging students to seek out shows of gratuitous violence! Fight the power, Chris!
I'm sorry, but there's just no equal time rule for assholes.
