The Bigotry Enforcers

It seems that the religious right has been emboldened to pursue more fully their ideas of theocracy and the destruction of any alternative viewpoints by expanding more into the public school system than they had in the past. Their aim this time is to kill any program that promotes any type of sexual education that is not biblically based or any program that offers the idea that it might not be morally wrong to be homosexual even going as far as to try to ban access to books that have a "homosexual theme" (i.e., they involve homosexuals in the plot). These are the new bigotry police. In the 1990s the enforcement was one of extreme, even ridiculous tolerance and change of language (remember that political correctness encouraged calling the things in the street 'personhole covers' instead of 'manhole covers'). Today, the bigotry police enforce the strict ideas they belive religion tells them: homosexuals are evil and there is a drive by homosexuals and homosexual sympathizers to indoctrinate the youth. These are the theocratic facists. They are the Christian equivalent of the Taliban, only they have not yet acquired the power to violently enforce their extremist beliefs.

One final postscript, if their ideas were in fact correct about the 'indoctrination' of youth into accepting and experiencing homosexual lifestyles, they are going about banning this the wrong way. If they really wanted to discourage homosexuality, they should have the schools teach it non-stop.
