ACLU Abusing Poor Christians Again

[Darth Wong]

"Well, I didn't find it offensive". Precisely the sort of double-standard that one would expect.

Can you go over her head?

His. And I don't think it's worth the trouble.

So, I complained. I pointed out the quote to the teacher in charge of editing it, after I politely told him that it was offensive to me as a non-Christian, etc.

He said that I would have to take it up with the person who used the quote.

"But aren't you supposed to screen the quotes for things that are potentially offensive?" I said.

"Plenty of other people used Christian quotes." the teacher replied.

"Those are Bible quotes. There's a difference between professing one's faith and dissing everyone elses." I replied.

"Well, I didn't find it offensive." the teacher snapped, and walked away.

I had to bite my tongue, because I was about to shout out "Yeah, and I bet you're a Christian!"

Should have asked if it would offend her if you told her to kiss your ass.

Actually, if you had asked if she was a Christian and she was, and didn't find the quote offensive for that reason, then you have a case there.

Also, if the quotes can still be changed you could try to get someone to use the same quote except change it to Satanism or Islam and see how they react.

Ask to submit the following quote.

"The way to see by faith is to shut the eye of reason: The Morning Daylight appears plainer when you put out your Candle."
-Benjamin Franklin

If they don't like it, point out that Mr. Franklin was a framer of the Constitution, and they must hate America if they reject your quote.

The yearbooks are out already, if I hadn't made that clear.

My quote was:

"Convictions are greater enemies of truth than lies." -Neitzcshe (I spelled the name right for the yearbook. )
