9th Circus Says ‘Family Values’ is Hate Speech

Posted on March 10, 2007

We read:

” A ruling from the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has concluded that municipal employers have the right to censor the words “natural family,” “marriage” and “family values” because that is hate speech and could scare workers….

However, as the Pro-Family Law Center noted, the court “completely failed to address the concerns of the appellants with respect to the fact that the City of Oakland’s Gay-Straight Employees Alliance was openly allowed to attack the Bible in widespread city e-mails, to deride Christian values as antiquated, and to refer to Bible-believing Christians as hateful.

When the plaintiffs attempted to refute this blatant attack on people of faith, they were threatened with immediate termination by the City of Oakland. The Ninth Circuit did not feel that the threat of immediate termination had any effect on free speech.”

The older I get and the more I see that goes on in our country the more I wish they had a bumper sticker that said, “ACLU…tongues for Satan”. Can someone please tell me where I can find such a sticker? Also, I would like to see one that says, “If Mary had aborted Jesus would we still be here?”

In the 60’s those on the left protested and accused the right of infringing on their free speech rights. Now that the left has their numbers and they are in control of the education system by and large they have elected not merely to infringe on free speech but to eliminate it.
