Alcohol Signs: Cons: HOW Do You Justify This Contradiction and Call It “Freedom of Speech”?
Question by Ambroas: Cons: HOW do you justify this contradiction and call it “Freedom of Speech”?
Recently, a bill was passed here in Tennessee called the “Religious Viewpoint Anti-discrimination Act”, which now allows students to discuss their religious viewpoints in school. The right is given exclusively to specific students chosen by the school staff that considers the student’s views “neutral”. This bill will blatantly single out students belonging to minority religious and nonreligious factions and demonize them for being “different”; different being something that should be EMBRACED. But the Republican leaders claim that if you object, “then you’re expressing your problem with the First Amendment and not with my bill.”
Oh really? Because according to what I remember about the last month, there was also another bill passed by Republican leaders called the “Don’t Say Gay” bill, which would prohibit any elementary or middle schools from providing “any instruction or material that discusses sexual orientation other than heterosexuality.” Not only does this now take us back to an age where being gay is considered an “evil” thing, it deeply affects a counselor’s ability to help students struggling with their sexuality. Also, this would prohibit the posting of suicide prevention posters referencing homosexuality.
So, let me get this straight: we have freedom of speech… until Republicans don’t like the topic of speech?

Uh, the teachers/staff get to decide which kids can express their views. That means there will only be Christians, and you KNOW that. Religious bigots.
