"A ruling from the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has concluded that municipal employers have the right to censor the words "natural family," "marriage" and "family values" because that is hate speech and could scare workers. "
Two city workers posted a notice on a city office bulletin:
"Good News Employee Associations is a forum for people of Faith to express their views on the contemporary issues of the day. With respect for the Natural Family, Marriage and Family values..."
They posted the notice after homosexual groups used the city's e-mail, bulletin board, and written communications systems for promoting their views, including attacks on the bible and people of faith.
Don't you think that if the homosexual groups have the right to promote their viewpoints, the same right should be extended to the religious, family oriented? Isn't the right of free speech for all Americans?

It should be noted that the city has done nothing to discipline the other groups using the city's communication systems to put forth their political views. "In fact, one city official even used the e-mail system to declare the Bible 'needs updating,' but no actions were taken against those individuals. "
Fine with taking action againt personal/political action on any of the city's communications systems, but it should be taken against all perpetrators, not just those of a specific point of view.

Lovingly called the "9th Circus", the most overturned appeals circuit in the country.
Do they realize that they're not SUPPOSED to be overturned at all? They're supposed to represent the highest authority before you get to federal courts, and they are BUFFOONS!

I'm as fed up as you are. Words like "marriage and family values" are hate speech? Freedom of speech for people of faith is being curbed more and more, in deference to the politically correct sensitivites of a very vocal few.
Thanks for pointing out the article. I would have missed it.
Anybody who has read the Bible should not really be surprised. It's all predicted.
