Why too much tolerance is a bad thing

Via Blazing Cat Fur comes this story, which shows the folly of tolerating intolernace

Moderate Muslims pressure school to cancel Santa’s visit to kindergarten class

“I went to see the headmistress to find out the reasons for this cancellation,” recalls the mother of a young girl who wishes to preserve her anonymity, “and she explained to me that she didn’t want to have her fingers rapped by certain Muslim families.” The headmistress, who has been in charge of the school in Grand-Clos for a few weeks, also invoked this argument to the mayor’s office who called her for explanations.

“She admitted to us that she had called the previous headmistress to learn how to deal with the families who, each year, threaten to boycott the school on the day of Father Christmas’ visit,” recalls Jean-Paul Fonteneau, assistant in charge of children’s affairs and teaching.

How to deal with them? Tell them to boycott! Go on with your traditions, they can accept it or be damned frankly! We have got to stop ceding our liberties, and culture to those that scream “tolerance” as a way to erase Western Culture. See this is not complicated at all. When you move to a new country, you either accept their traditions, and culture, or you do not move there! Muslims who wish to move to Western nations have to learn that they do not get to force their culture upon their new countrymen.

 

Don’t you love it when PC backfires?

I know I do. One of the most disturbing trends over the past decade has been children, being punished, suspended, maybe even expelled from school, for being children. The list of kids, hurt by “zero tolerance” is long, and troubling. Recently a nine-year-old boy made news for being suspended from school. His “crime”? Calling his teacher cute. Yes, apparently that innocent remark is sexual harassment to the politically correct. The Lonely Conservative has the story for us, with not only a happy ending, but with punishment for the idiot principal who made the asinine decision to punish this child.

The principal of the school in North Carolina that suspended a nine year old student for calling his teacher “cute” has resigned. He claims he was treated unfairly.

Jerry Bostic told The Gaston Gazette he could understand being written up for the suspension and having someone follow up during the school year, but he added that he was disappointed because this is how his 44 years in education ended.

“To me it’s a really sad final note to a career that I have found very satisfying and enjoy working with kids,” Bostic said. “I really don’t believe I was treated fairly.”

Awww, he was treated unfairly? Too bad. Some might think it mean to celebrate the firing of this man, but to me, people with his lack of judgement do not belong anywhere near kids, good riddance! I wish the same thing would happen to every teacher/principal who punishes kids for acting like kids.As The Lonely Conservative puts it……..

Well, now he knows how that young boy felt when he was suspended.

Exactly!
