N/S PTO rules that "Redskins" is derogatory (not a case about the NFL team but likely precedent)
Nicely stated. Concise and clear. Nevertheless, there are some who are determined to see some political correctness bogeyman lurking everywhere they look.
My comparison to the Saints, and recent court rulings that have established the "separation of church & state" precident is not PC fear mongering....its reality.
The FFR group went after a memorial dedicated to some WWII vets, that had a cross attached to it. The cross (religious symbol) is not religious in context...but historical, referencing the faith system of the WWII vets it was dedicated to. Nothing about the cross compelled anyone to workship Christianity, yet the FFR group has fought it based on a violation of the "separation of church & state" precedent because THEY interpreted it as an endorsement of religion, by their government, NOT a reference to the faith system of the fallen WWII vets....all because the land the cross was on is partially funded by public funds....thereby violating the separation of church & state.
Ticky tacky...YES, but proves my point that people are offended by EVERYTHING, not just phycial characteristic generalizations.
There are dozens of similar cases where crosses on the side of highway (memorials for family members...who were Christian...lost in car accidents) were forced to be removed, prayer banners in schools forced to be removed, pregame prayers forced to stop....all on the basis that group of people were offended.
