I've heard similar tales that are absolutely true. How did they come to the conclusion these aren't? Not a war on christians, but who would believe kids would be sent home and punished for their toy guns, pop tarts 'chewed' into the shape of a gun, little boys for kissing a little girl, and other silly things that puts the lefty PC crowd into a frenzy?

Marcos Perez, of Oviedo, Fla., said the incident occurred earlier this month in the lunch room at Carillon Elementary School.

He said his daughter  was sitting at a table about to eat when she bowed her head and began to pray. A teacher saw her and told her, ‘you’re not allowed to do that,’” he said. Perez said his little girl replied, “But it’s good to pray.” The teacher alleged replied, “It’s not good.”

You can say the school denied it happened, but you cannot say it didn't unless it was proven it never happened or the little girl recanted.

And while it may not be a war on Christians, and so 'off subject', the firings over people speaking out against things is getting ridiculous and out of hand. I see no problem and have no problem going head to head with people about their remarks, but one **** thing I don't freaking agree with is the left's obsession with ruining the lives of people that make remarks they don't like, or remarks that offends them. Even if there is a reason to agree the statement was offensive, grow the h*** up and stop wanting to ruin lives and families. POS lefties.

So Best, are your examples persecution, or examples of overreaction by PC zealots?

And, there does appear to be a double standard on the left over free speech and consequences of non-PC statements.  Seems Conservatives are overly scrutinized and demonized when they say the least non-PC thing no matter how much they apologize, while Progressives almost always get a free pass.

=========================

They lied when they said the things didn't happen. I agree the persecution thing is a bit much, but they are things that happened, some not exactly like they were reported by either side, but troublesome anyway.  Such as sending the kid for psychological evaluation for his drawing. My gosh I'd be in jail because I would be so angry I would probably try to whip the teacher's *** for such nonsense. What would we think if we saw pictures the teachers and PC crowd drew at age 8? Do you remember yours??

Today, I would be banned and evaluated for the things I drew.  Some how I managed to not become a mass murderer.  

American has indeed become too thin-skinned - hypersensitive to the least offense.  

=================

The pictures I drew-I don't want to talk about it. They're not so much thin-skinned as they have struck gold in ways to punish people for the tiniest slight. Where it might have put their nose out of joint at one time, now they can wreck havoc and cause misery to anyone they claim 'disrespects' them. I am so sick of some words and phrases, I could puke. "They disrespected me" is one.

There is a teen that said he remembers being in day care and the worker grabbing him by the shoulders and getting in his face, yelling at him "you will respect me". Bad timing. His grandmother had come to get him and caught the act. He said his grandmother yelled, 'respect this', and slapped that worker in the face so hard her glasses flew off,  and then she popped her again. It was a big mess and the worker was fired, no charges against his grandmother, and he said for years he'd tell the story of the day his grandmother saved him. He said he was only about three and had no idea what he had done to make her think he had disrespected her, that she was mean to all of them, and will never forget the slaps his grandmother delivered.  It was a church daycare and they moved him to non-church one, and he was told later the workers at the new place were told what happened, and that there better not be a whisper of it there.  He said his grandmother is his hero. That's what should happen more often.

Truth is all relative anymore it seems.  We have a court that now seems to interpret various words and what they mean rather than interpreting the Constitution, as they should do.  The statements that this source made about the events not happening or being false are themselves highly dubious and seemingly motivated by a bias and agenda.

Fact is that Christians, at least those in this Country, do not know persecution yet but there is no guarantee that years in the future they won't.  Persecution is being handed out by Islamic fundamentalist against Christians in many places of the world and through beheadings and other forms of torture leading to death account Christians believe differently.  There may be some acts where some Christians suffer some kind of loss or embarrassment but nothing compares to what many Christians around the world are facing at the hands of Islamic nations. 

And the goal of the fundamentalist is to spread their jihad to the west and America.  Christian scriptures and prophecy remains silent about America which could mean America doesn't exist at the time the prophecy is targeted for or that America or the US has no direct affect on the happenings that are going on.  The troubling thing should be, to even non-Christians, and Atheist and all others is that Islamic fundamentalist will also be targeting yourselves for it surely will not stop with just the Christians as their goal is to force, if even by torture and threat of death, everyone to bow to Allah and become Muslim or so their own prophecies proclaim.  They even look for Jesus to return, a Muslim, and whose purpose will be to correct and point out to all Christians the error of their way and convert them, by force, to Islam.  (Note the Islamic Jesus though is not the Christ that Christians worship and look for to come again). 

Two middle school girls are forced into a lesbian kiss as part of an anti-bullying program

BTW, this also happened. So, for every example they claimed didn't happen, it happened. And only in a couple of places did it happen slightly different than posted. If the article had told the truth, as they pretend to want from others, they'd have stated just what happened, or linked to the stories, and let their readers decide who overreacted and who has a right to be concerned. Instead they claimed it never happened. I put one part in bold that, imo, speaks volumes. Someone thinks it's their place to teach other's children about homosexuality, and notice the name calling of the children and parents. I don't blame parents for being upset.

============================================

From the Red Hook Central School District and the Poughkeepsie Journal, here's what really happened at Linden Avenue Middle School in Red Hook, New York: some parents were upset that they weren't notified in advance of the aforementioned health class lesson, which "focused on improving culture, relationships, communication and self-perceptions," according to superintendent Paul Finch. Those are issues schools are required to to address under New York’s Dignity for All Students Act. Linden Avenue Principal Katie Zahedi and guidance counselors worked with Bard students to develop the workshop, which included helpful role-playing on how to say no to "unwanted social pressures."

One 14-year-old girl told her mom she was weirded out by words like "pansexual" and "gender q u e e r" and embarrassed about being told to "request a kiss" from a female peer. Of course she was: we need the Dignity for All Students Act because most middle schoolers are di cks who are indoctrinated by our homophobic culture to think it's abnormal to be anything but straight.

Still, Zahedi reiterated in a Facebook post that the exercise wasn't about "pretending to be gay" but saying no to unwanted advances: “In planning the discussion, we made it clear that absolutely no discussion of any sexual acts is appropriate to middle school, and they used the examples of a kiss,” she wrote. “It was a separate activity for boys and girls and ultimately about respect and safety.”

The troubling thing should be, to even non-Christians, and Atheist and all others is that Islamic fundamentalist will also be targeting yourselves for it surely will not stop with just the Christians as their goal is to force, if even by torture and threat of death, everyone to bow to Allah and become Muslim or so their own prophecies proclaim.

=========================

This is exactly what a lot of atheists have been trying to tell you and bill, and others like you that keep opening the door to this by whining and crying and demanding religion and prayer in our schools and public places. You were warned. While you belittled and worried about atheists, schools were/are working with muslims to make the schools more "muslim friendly". So don't come around now acting like no one has cared and warned you.
