To what level is this occurring in high schools? It seems to me the generation doing much of the teaching now were brought up on Reagan. Perhaps we may see a swing the other way, especially as the baby-boomer entitlement moves on.
A friend of mine coined the action going on here as “litigating liberalism”. Spot on, I tell you. If you don’t agree with me, then I am offended, thus, you are discriminating. To which I would reply, you’re damn right I’m discriminating. This extension of the Utopian theology of liberalism is scary. Operating blindly, thinking everything is fair and equal, while Rome burns around you is no way to go through life. Self-determination is in the corner whimpering.
A similar story is unfolding in a Northern county of Illinois. Here is the link, make associations at your own risk.

Apparently, it’s okay to say “Goddamn America”, but it’s is no longer okay to point at someone. One more step to Balkanization.
