Re: Federal judge strikes down Utah’s ban on same-sex marriage
i am not suggesting, that history of slavery and discrimination not be taught, i think they should...however no law can violate the rights of citizens, becuase the majority is for something........ie .....Utah marriage ban.
the reason for my position....[freedom] as a citizen i have freedom to like and dislike other people and not deal with them, its called [right of association].
the 14th amendment to our constitution is to protect people from discrimination by governments only, becuase governments are there to secure rights, and the interest of the people.....a business is not here to secure rights and serve the interest of the people, a business serves it own interest.
the Utah ban on marriage was a morality vote of the people, to stop homosexuals from marrying......the government has no authority in the morality of the peoples personal life's.
in the same sense..... it has no moral authority to teach people things which they find repugnant to ones sense of morality.
Why do you believe that the history of slavery and discrimination in this country should not be taught in public schools, just because it might offend a few bigots?
