What's wrong with him is that the secular humanist organizations such as "People for the American Way" have succeeded in convincing the judiciary that Christianity is the problem, rather than the solution.  The fight is going to get worse, not better.

Speech Freedom

A lot of it just taking the idea of "politically correct" to extremes.  It's not PC to say someone is "handicapped," you have to say they are "challenged."  It's not PC to invoke "Jesus" in a crowd of people that might include Muslims, Jews, and Buddhists.

And then there are the "Zero Tolerance" rules/laws that make bringing a knife to school -- even if it's never opened or used in a threatening manner -- a crime.  How about the kindergarten boy who was expelled (or suspended?) for kissing a little girl?  The school administration called it "sexual harrassment."

Now with the Patriot Act, anyone who has any kind of public history of anti-government activity -- even peaceful activity -- finds themselves on the "no-fly" list; they can't fly on any commercial airline in the USA.  Little old ladies are having their knitting needles confiscated; elderly men who are war heroes are being strip-searched because of hip replacements that set off metal detectors; average people are harassed, searched, and humiliated because of 9/11 -- and these people don't remotely fit the description of terrorists.  Ridiculous.

Our freedoms are being chipped away, little by little, by the courts, and by groups that whine and complain about their rights being violated.  How about the San Diego couple who were being sued because of their car license plate that was customized to say "RAP N JAP" -- some Japanese person saw it and was offended.  These are the couple's INITIALS.  But because ONE PERSON was offended by it, this couple was sued.  I don't remember all the details, but can you imagine?

The USA is getting stranger all the time.

Now, that's plain ridiculous! I think the system in the USA should really change, anybody sue for the smallest of the things and millions of dollars are spent when they could be well used to feed hungry children. It makes me very mad that people abuse the system in such a way.

This is really stupid...
I've heard about two other really strange cases in the US:

-A man sued McDonalds because he has spilt hot coffee over his hands while carrying his meal.
-Two teenagers sued Nintendo, because they haven't gotten any rare card in their Pokemon booster packs.

I believe that it's useless to sue for that kind of worthless things. And in both those cases the cash demand went into millions...

We had one here where I live with Mcdonalds...They are being Sued again because they are MAKING our kids Fat With there food...Yeah mcdonalds ..comes to your house puts a gun to your head and says OK BRING YOU KID TO MCDONALDS NOW ..so we can make them FATTER ...I THINK NOT!...

Freedom of Speech

Hahaha... Some people just lack the sense of reality

It's the same as sueing Tobbaco companies the fact that they've caused cancer.
Good Morning! You've been smoking out of your own will!

While he didn't lose his job at the school paper, he has been assured that any of his work will be censored from now on, to eliminate any possibility that he will discuss his point of view about any considerations that Muslims are given in the West.
