If I had it to do over again, all my children would go to a Catholic School.
It isn't. It is called Freedom of Association.
There is nothing bigoted or racist about saying you don't want a mosque built in your backyard.
It is 2008, Can this diversity nonsense and political correctness crap finally die like disco?
We can only hope.
If the Catholic school ever gets built. It will be blown up - real quick.
If this took place in a real ’secular and liberal democracy,’ then surely this is a form of racism. Below is what wikipedia points out are the points (those relavent to this article) of a liberal democracy (like Australia) has, as per the theorist Larry Diamond:
1. Citizens have multiple channels for expression and representation such as diverse independent associations and movements which they have the freedom to form and join.
2. Individuals have substantial freedom of belief, opinion, discussion, speech, publication, assembly, demonstration and petition.
3. Civil liberties are effectively protected by an non-discriminatory, independent judiciary
whose decisions are respected and enforced by other centres of power.
4. Citizens are politically equal under the law.
5. Minority groups are not oppressed.
Please get back to fundamentalism of your own laws, and speak nor wish not of your fellow citizen. In the US, even today, this would probably warrant a federal investigation into violating the civil rights of others, and corruption at the governmental level of those running the township that allows this kind of hate to exist, with impunity and justification — but of course. This is not an anti-Catholic slam; even in Catholicism, which promotes pluralism as well (at least today), this practice would appear to be that which is oppressive. 5pillar.wordpress.com
