Blaring Double Standards in the Cultural Diversity Movement
By Michael Bresciani (03/11/07)
Proponents of cultural diversity and tolerance are steadily leaving behind
a trail of blaring inconsistencies and blatant double standards. Will the
age of reason end with technology being the only thing society nearly
mastered even while social experimentation lies weak and whimpering in the
wings?
In Massachusetts a judge recently said that a parent’s authority
concerning their children ends at the doors of the public school. This was
the answer given to parents who were at arms over the teaching of the gay
lifestyle to their children in the public school. They were told that they
had the option to send their children to private schools or homeschool
them if they could not abide the rule.
In Philadelphia a man witnessing about his faith in Christ received death
threats and was told his adherence to the idea of marriage being between
only one man and one woman is perverted. Using the P word when referring
to homosexuals can raise the ire of any number of gay activists or groups
not to mention that in some states may lead to a law suit. What happened
to “whatever is good for the goose…?”
Muslim children are never forced to pledge allegiance to the flag, pray
Christian prayers or attend Christian meetings. Children of American born
Christian parents are now being forced to attend rallies that deny the
teachings of their parents and their church. This is the old double
standard with a whole new twist.
In San Diego parents are being fought by the school and the city officials
because they do not want their children to take part in the gay pride
parade. The parade promises to produce a spectacle of sexual debauchery
for all the kids to see as it has consistently now for several years.
The treatment of parents and concerned citizens is equivalent to telling
them they have no rights to uphold the original perception of the school
as it was first presented. This presentation had to do with education,
academic pursuits and character building. Cultural diversity being the new
kid on the block seems to be re-writing the rules even as it seeks an
umbrella of protection from the halls of American jurisprudence.
Turning a culture upside down in the name of tolerance is by any other
name intolerance and a whopping double standard.
Just after the byline an article by Wendy Cloyd 2-16-2007 on the
CitizenLink website starts with “Gay-activist group Soulforce is
organizing protests of Christian colleges because of their codes that
forbid sexual immorality.” Is there a fight to protect immorality in the
U.S.? Seems so!
With former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright and former President
Jimmy Carter now claiming that the Iraq war has taken away America’s
ability to stand for what is moral and friendly, one can only wonder if
either of them knows about Soulforce.
Even as the “Philadelphia Eleven” from the ministries of Repent America
are being heavily penalized for their attempts to evangelize at abortion
clinics and gay rallies Soulforce plans to double its efforts to
evangelize for the gay life. Their efforts include two busses, each loaded
with protestors bound for each coast of the U.S. to visit and protest at
some 32 Christian colleges and Universities.
It remains to be seen if any of their band of gay life promoters will be
arrested or charged with any civil rights violations. Although gays have
not been targeted to any degree for name calling, death threats and
creating fear they have certainly been doing the same for some time now.
The double standard may start to get noticed as the more militant factions
of the gay rights activists’ face off with various cultural and Christian
groups in this country.
Besides the double standards that are practiced and espoused there is also
a plethora of behavioral non sequiturs that the gay community seems unable
to defend. A case in point comes from the “City That Care Forget.”
In New Orleans even some of residents of the French Quarter’s rousing
party district have taken exception to the yearly celebrations of the gay
community’s event called “Southern Decadence.” Some people seem to think
that while gays are trying to present their lifestyle as normal and
culturally acceptable that to associate it with decadence is obviously
contradictory. The celebration has aspects that cannot be seen as anything
other than decadent thus producing yet another double standard that is
starting to get noticed.
Getting it all morally mixed up is not new in our civilization but sadly
when things get this mangled up it usually spells the end of a culture or
nation not its advancement.
Ye have wearied the LORD with your words. Yet ye say, Wherein have we
wearied him? When ye say, Every one that doeth evil is good in the sight
of the LORD, and he delighteth in them; or, Where is the God of judgment?
Malachi 2:17
