A Voice in the Wilderness In Defense of "Mere Conservatism"

Political Correctness is Cowardice

From the UK's Daily Mail:

A Christian teacher yesterday claimed he was forced out of his job after complaining that Muslim pupils as young as eight hailed the September 11 hijackers as heroes.

This poor guy, Nicholas Kafouris, is a teacher in a school and classroom dominated by young, aggressive Muslim students who un-apologetically promote the views we often associate with terrorists living in caves.

The predominantly Muslim youngsters openly praised Islamic extremists in class and described the September 11 terrorists as 'heroes and martyrs'.

One pupil said: 'Don't touch me, you're a Christian' when he brushed against him.

Others said: 'We want to be Islamic bombers when we grow up', and 'The Christians and Jews are our enemies - you too because you're a Christian'.

Seems reasonable, right?  The teacher involved here filed complaints time after time and his boss at the school told him to get lost.  Could it be because she feared reprisal from the radical students' radical parents?

Political correctness prevents real justice.  It distorts reality and clouds sound judgment, all in the name of "playing nice."  These students should have been warned, punished, and if the behavior continued - kicked out the school.

But what else do you expect from a country whose leaders are increasingly "cool with" Sharia Law being implemented within its own borders?  It's sad really, and should be a HUGE wake-up call for Americans who naively think it could never happen here.
