American Arrested for Anti-homosexual
Statements: "What
does the Islamic world and [much of today's] Europe have in common?
....in neither place are Christians allowed to fully express their beliefs
without fear of persecution....The victim is 47-year-old New Yorker
Shawn Holes, who was on a UK tour when he was arrested in Glasgow after
running afoul of UK hate-speech laws....
"When asked about
his views on homosexuality, Holes said: 'Homosexuals are deserving of
the wrath of God – and so are all other sinners.' ...Holes’ arrest was
followed by the imposition of a £1,000 fine, which is a harsher penalty
than even some Britons who commit violent crimes must endure."

Court: Shooting 'spitwads'
is 'violent criminal conduct':
"'That the Supreme Court refused to hear Andrew’s case is a tragedy
in itself, but by failing to intervene, the court is legitimizing the
perverse use of zero tolerance policies by school districts and
the criminalization of America’s schoolchildren by teachers,
administrators and police,' said Rutherford Institute President John
W. Whitehead....'There can be no justice in a nation where young people
like Andrew Mikel have their futures senselessly derailed by school
administrators lacking in both common sense and compassion."

Millions of rules stifling freedom:

Pupils aged five on hate register:
Teachers must log playground taunts for Government database:
"Even minor incidents must be recorded as examples of serious bullying and details
kept on a database until the pupil leaves secondary school. Teachers are to
be told that even if a primary school child uses homophobic or racist words
without knowing their meaning, simply teaching them such words are hurtful and
inappropriate is not enough. Instead the incident has to be recorded and his
or her behaviour monitored for future signs of 'hate' bullying.
"The
accusations will also be recorded in databases held by councils and made available
to Whitehall and ministers to help them devise future anti-bullying campaigns.
The boy was reported after he called
a friend 'gay boy'. His parents fear the record of homophobic bullying will
count against him throughout his school career and even into adulthood."

Laura Timoney fumes after son
Patrick, 9, is busted for bringing 2-inch-long toy gun:
"'The gun was so little,' the boy said. 'I don't understand why the principal
got so upset. I was a little nervous. They made me sign a statement.'
"Patrick and a friend
were playing with Lego figures in the school cafeteria on Tuesday
when he pulled out the faux machine gun and stuck it in the hands of his

somehow gone from straight A's to the NRA.... Timoney said her boy loved

New Texas law seeks common sense
instead of 'zero tolerance' in punishment of students:
"A high school student is suspended for four days when school officials
find a wooden bat in his vehicle. An honors student forgets to remove a
kitchen knife from his car and is sent to an alternative-placement center
for students with disciplinary problems. Under strict 'zero tolerance' discipline
policies in some school districts, students can get severe punishment for
weapons violations, assaults and drug offenses no matter what the circumstances
were. In a fight, for example, it doesn't matter who threw the first punch
or whether it is the student's first trip to the principal's office....
Under House Bill 171, school districts must take into account extenuating
circumstances such as 'intent or lack of intent.'"

Holocaust Remembrance
Day [April 21]: A Question of "Tolerance"?
"...around the world people will be stopping to remember the atrocities
committed against six million Jews and around five million others,
murdered because of the madness of one man - Adolph Hitler.... But
this week, when we learned that the USHMM had asked Barack Obama
to be the keynote speaker for this week's ceremony, we realized
that the true message of Holocaust remembrance was being lost. That
true message is being replaced with ideologies of tolerance, unification,
globalism..."

Darwinians hysterical
over 'Expelled':
"Stein's critics fail to refute effectively anything in 'Expelled';
they just use epithets to ridicule it and hope they can make it
go away....Stein merely shows the intolerance of the universities,
the government, the courts, the grant-making foundations and the
media.... The only question posed by the movie is why, oh why, is
there such a deliberate, consistent, widespread, vindictive effort
to silence all criticism of
dogmatic Darwinism or
discussion of alternate theories of the origin of life? ...
"Liberals are particularly upset because the movie identifies Darwinism,
rather than evolution, as the sacred word that must be isolated
from criticism. But that semantic choice makes good sense because
Darwinism is easily defined by
Darwin's own writings,
whereas the word evolution is subject to different and even contrary
definitions. ...
"The truly funny part of the movie is Stein's interview with Richard
Dawkins... the world's premier atheist..... Under Stein's questioning,
Dawkins finally said it is possible that life might have evolved
on Earth after the arrival of a more highly developed being from
another planet. ... And how was the other-planet alien
created?... Stein's message is that the attack on freedom of
inquiry is anti-science.... His dramatization should force
the public, and maybe even academia, to address this
extraordinary intolerance of diversity."

Schools prepare pupils to accept
a police state: "...in
2003 an honor student in Arizona... an eighth-grader with no disciplinary
record, was strip-searched -- and I mean really strip-searched... in pursuit
of nonprescription ibuprofen [like Advil] tablets.... Today, under the absurd
'no tolerance' drug policies
in schools, no type of medication... is allowed unless it is ... dispensed
by the nurse to the student. In other words, it is easier for a child to
secure an abortion referral from a K-12 educational facility than it is
to relieve a headache.... Like the aggravations suffered by law-abiding
passengers at airports in the name of terrorism, schoolchildren are deemed
automatically guilty until proven innocent....
"...Savana's case went to court... and two of the three-judge panel on the
9th Circuit Court of Appeals... decided that the degrading search did not
violate the girl's Fourth Amendment rights.... But here's the clincher:
The principal said he didn't think the strip search was a big deal--because
they didn't find anything. ....
"Whereas
schools used to discourage 'tattling, today they encourage students to report
on each other, even while denigrating the individual in favor of the collective.
Surreptitious identification methods ensure that youngsters' opinions are
tracked and monitored over time for political correctness."

School bars T-shirt, but First
Amendment-rights win out:
"A high school student got in trouble with administrators for wearing a
T-shirt that expressed her opposition to homosexual behavior.... The front
of the T-shirt says 'tolerance is the virtue of believing in nothing,' and
the back says 'truth is truth -- homosexuality is wrong.'...
"'It is regrettable
when parents have to choose which right their child will be deprived of
-- free speech or a public education,' said Kevin Snider, chief counsel for PJI....
"School officials,
pointing to a policy based on 'tolerance and diversity,' explained a homosexual
would be offended by a shirt that says 'homosexuality is a sin.' PJI's president,
Brad Dacus, argued, however, 'One-way tolerance is not tolerance, but tyranny.'
'Intolerance of students with religious or moral convictions should have
no place in public education."

The tyranny of 'tolerance':
"One of the biggest battles we face concerns the way we use words. One of
the most glaring examples is the word 'tolerance.'... The new definition
of 'tolerance' makes the Christian claims to exclusivity 'intolerant,' which
supposedly justifies much of the anti-Christianity in the media and the
education system. But this argument is glaringly illogical and self-refuting....
"The
result is extreme intolerance towards Christianity from people who talk
so much about tolerating all views. In short, they are intolerant of intolerance,
so logically they should be intolerant of themselves!"
But they are not, since they
have learned to see themselves on the "right" side of the issue.

prompts probe Santa Rosa teacher gave assignment:
"A political science instructor at Santa Rosa Junior College is being investigated
by the Secret Service for telling his students to compose an e-mail to an
elected official that included the words 'kill the president, kill the president.'...
Michael Ballou, a part-time lecturer who teaches an 'Introduction to U.S.
Government' course at the college's Petaluma campus, intended the assignment
to be an 'experiential exercise that would instill a sense of fear so they
would have a better sense of why more people don't participate in the political

Zero tolerance or zero common

"At LaSalle Middle School in Greeley, Colo., three 13-year-old boys were
given one-year suspensions because one of the students brought to school
a key chain with a 2 1/2-inch laser pointer. The school called it a 'firearm

Zero Tolerance' Sends a Strong
Message, but Is It the Right One?
"The notice of Johnson's suspension from Mellon Middle School in Mt. Lebanon,
Pa., reached her home the same day that a letter announcing she'd been named
to the honor roll arrived, her baffled parents said. They said they taught
her to use writing and drawing as an outlet for frustration she might feel
in situations such as the one she was in, having just received a 'D' on
a vocabulary test....
"The same week that Johnson
was suspended for drawing stick figures of her teachers with arrows through
their heads, a 17-year-old in Fayette County, Ga., was suspended and arrested
when school officials found a machete he used in his part-time landscaping
business in the back of his truck, which he'd driven to school. The boy
and his father said he had worked late the evening before and simply forgot
to take his tools out of the truck.
"In April, a Madison,
Wis., sixth-grader was suspended and told he would be expelled for a year
when he brought a steak knife to school to dissect an onion for a class

"'Zero tolerance has

It has redefined students as criminals, with unfortunate consequences,'

the kids ahead of him in a lunchroom line, 'I'm going to get you,' if they

discretion by local officials."

has a hearing on three felonious assault charges next week in Washtenaw
County Juvenile Court.... An adult resident driving by saw a child pull
a gun 'from underneath his jacket and point it at the other children,' the

Going Too Far: The Case of the
Nail Clipper: "Dustin
Rogers is 8 years old. He's a solid, avid reader. He's polite and quick.
One day last month, rushing to meet the school bus, he grabbed his mother's
spare keys instead of his own house key. For this, his Montgomery County
elementary school moved to expel him from the school system. Welcome to
another journey into the twilight zone of zero tolerance, where a nail clipper
is a deadly weapon and a boy who has to blow his nose is a criminal. ...
"The key ring Dustin
grabbed that morning had two keys and a 99-cent nail clipper, available
at any dollar store. You probably have one in your house, you terrible person,
you. That day... Dustin and several other boys in Melinda Frydenlund's third-grade
class were excused to go to the bathroom. On his way out of the restroom,
Dustin reached into his pocket for a tissue to blow his nose. The key ring
fell out of his pocket onto the floor, where a couple of Dustin's classmates
saw it. 'That's a pocketknife!' one boy exclaimed....
"Dustin said he didn't
have a knife; he had a key ring, which he gave to his teacher. She took
the offending item to the principal. ...the letter from Burnt Mills Principal
Adrienne Jackson to Dustin's mother begins: 'On Tuesday, December 11, 2001
your son, Dustin Rogers, was found in possession of a dangerous object.
The most dangerous object being a 2 inch blade."
She lied, and when truth fades,
so does justice. This policy is tormenting innocent children across the
country and putting every child at risk. But there is a purpose for such
intimidation -- just as in Nazi Germany.
