This extract from a post above pretty much reflects how far too many of the current generation and others think these days.
We are swamped by the notion of not offending anyone about anything by or for anybody. We have lost or at a minimum set aside the concept of right and wrong in exchange for acknowledging isolated incidences and minority reports and penalizing the majority to appease the few.
The usual isolated incidences of yesteryear would have been acknowledged and the life and belief of others would not have been changed. Today isolated incidences become headline news and are promoted by a legal system that attempts to change the lives of the many for the sake of one.
Hence a story like the child not being allowed to pray is all too often more likely to be true than not.
I am a proponent of right or wrong which far too much of the current permissive thinking does not subscribe to or accept.

I agree with you on this too. That the few and unusual incidences of this sort are given way too much press and then those of us with kind and fair hearts are always feeling bad. ALWAYS. aND We aren't allowed to point out certain things because we would hurt a whole bunch of folks.Even if a whole bunch of folks are always getting into trouble...again... But there sets the emperor, naked as a jaybird.
Common sense is dead as a duck. We can't say anything anymore for the fear of hurting someone.
