In case you are a bit uninformed, I'd like to make a correction to "commonly accepted thought" in today's society. When asked where people have the most intellectual freedom, quite often the answer would be in higher education. While that may have once been the case (especially in the radical 60s & 70s), it is most certainly NOT a place that welcomes freedom today.

As Wendy McElroy, points out in her weekly editorial, freedom of speech on today's campuses of "higher learning" is only protected for some, while it is utter bashed and destroyed for others.

At issue here are the words uttered in an unsolicited email -- in other words, Person A sent a mass email to Person B. In the email, there was a specific link to click to reply to the sender. Person B followed that link and replied:

Do not send me any mail about 'Connie and Sally' and 'Adam and Steve.' These are perversions. The absence of God in higher education brings on confusion. That is why in these classes the Creator of the heavens and the earth is never mentioned.

"I don't want to feel threatened at my place of work"

So yes, in today's version of academic, you are free to insult people if you insult them and their intelligence in the name of lesbianism, but if you DARE to actually be offended by lesbianism, or even have the apparent unmitigated GALL to actually request to NOT receive email about lesbians, YOU ARE SEXUALLY HARASSING AND THREATENING PEOPLE!

This is utterly insane! I am NOT exaggerating this -- the Person B is accused of making a hostile workplace FOR ASKING NOT TO RECEIVE EMAILS ABOUT LESBIANS!

It gets worse.

This complete and total twisting of sanity is completely supported by the Attorney General of New Jersey.

It's hard to believe there's anything that can be done to save this country at times like this. Oh, and if you're offended by this, I'm telling the thought police when they come to pick me up for writing this.
