This is bad. Once the courts accept the premise that it is "reasonable" to censor speech that someone finds offensive, there will be no end to what will be censored. There are only two possibilities: either you accept that since you are in a free society you have to accept the fact that someone will be free to say something you will find offensive, or you make your opinions become the official dogma and ban all other views. The new twist to the latter option is to ban opposing views in the name of "tolerance." Scratch an idealogue and you will usually find a book burner.

Yes it's bad, it's political correctness gone way over the top, but I am afraid we ain't seen nothin yet.

I work hard on being politically incorrect, and let the politicians know it.
