multiculturalism vs multiculturalism
« on: April 08, 2008, 12:35:02 PM »
Muslims' fury forces schools to shelve anti-homophobia storybooks for 5-year-olds
By LAURA CLARK
Quote
Two primary schools have withdrawn storybooks about same-sex relationships after objections from Muslim parents.

Up to 90 gathered at the schools to complain about the books which are aimed at pupils as young as five.

One story, titled King & King, is a fairytale about a prince who turns down three princesses before marrying one of their brothers.

Another named And Tango Makes Three features two male penguins who fall in love at a New York zoo.

Bristol City Council said the two schools had been using the books to ensure they complied with gay rights laws which came into force last April.

Well. That settles that. Er... right?   :confused: LOL

And this is where liberal groupthink and fundamentalism collide. The ensuing bloodbath won't be pretty. Can you say, "cognitive dissonance"? They are against fundamentalism when it's any other religion. This should get interesting.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

It sounds like the way to advance the Fundamentalist (for lack of a better word -- I don't want to say "Conservative") agenda is to attach it to the muslims and let them carry it at sword- and/or bomb-point.
