Cranston(RI) was in the news a while back due to a lawsuit by the ACLU on behalf or an atheist who was offended by a banner that was a gift from a previous graduating class which extolled inspirational virtues and referenced God...this was apparently unbearable and had to be removed...
Cranston schools received notice from their superintendent recently notifying them that the schools may no longer hold father/daughter dances or mother/son events as these conflicted with state law somehow...apparently a Title 9 infraction
this was prompted by a letter from the ACLU who represent a woman who is a single mom who feels that her daughter is wrongly being excluded because she doesn't happen to have a dad...
the Mayor of Cranston is outraged....our illustrious Governor commented that "times are changing"...in other words...live with it
I imagine that other school districts will beging to receive similar letters from the ACLU
I wonder if/when this will end....
the 47% percent that largely constitute what Romney was referring to recently and is being hammered over are a portion of America who appear very cognizant of a whole host of rights that they feel they are entitled to at the behest of government or some government agent while acknowledging little or no responsiblity attached to those rights nor any concern for the rights of others and they are fully supported in their one way street of rights without responsibility by a particular political persuasion...which makes individual liberty, responsibility and accountability a tough sell, especially when your counterpart is an accomplished panderer and purveyor of class warfare and promoter of better living through government largess...
