Say No to PC Trek

[Vektor]

Well, I had a pretty good response of my own going, but for the most part it just boils down to this:

What Cary L. Brown said. :thumbsup:

Oh, actually there is one thing:

Franklin said:
If you teach a Christian story of creation next to evolution, you've also violated the "establishment of religion" clause of the First Amendment. Even a conservative judge would have to say that.

Clearly not. In the case of Wallace vs. Jaffrey, 1985, Supreme Court Justice William Renquist wrote:

“It is impossible to build sound constitutional doctrine upon a mistaken understanding of Constitutional history….The establishment clause had been expressly freighted with Jefferson’s misleading metaphor for nearly forty years....

There is simply no historical foundation for the proposition that the framers intended to build a wall of separation [between church and state]….The recent court decisions are in no way based on either the language or intent of the framers.”

That's one conservative judge and there are many others. But of course, William Renquist was never considered politically correct so I'm sure he doesn't count.

And with all due respect to your having taught constitutional law, you put your pants on one leg at a time just like the rest of us and are every bit as capable of being wrong now and then.

I'm done.

Let me see if I'm following this thread:

"Good ol' Star Trek: First Contact Zef was a Hippy!", and "Intelligent Design is a scientific theory!"

I forgot:

"Evilllllllllllllllllll liberals!"

What's next, Cardinal Kirk, Sister Uhura?

"No one expects the Trek Inquition!"

What is th TNZ anyway?

There I did stay on topic.

Thread closed until I review the whole thing.

"PC," you see, has never been about treating all people, and all belief systems, equally. If that was the case, the "PC crowd" would be up in arms defending the rights of neo-nazis and clansmen to have and hold their own beliefs.

...

I defend the rights of neo-nazis and clansmen to have and hold their own beliefs. The Christian Taliban use the term PC to scare the cr*p out of their followers so they are given money.

And that's when this thread died. Thanks.

Next time you want to go in this direction, post in TNZ. TNZ is short for The Neutral Zone. It's a hidden forum and you have to ask for permission in order to gain access. Where do you go to ask? The forum "Questions, Suggestions & Feedback". Scroll around and you'll find it.
