Equality or Hypocrisy?

There will never be equality in this country. Never. Yes, I said it. Most people that clamor for equality don’t even know what it means, in my opinion. We are weeks away from likely having our first black American president. That won’t change things though, even if that is his campaign motto. There are too many small groups in American society that feel slighted each time something doesn’t go their way and scream out loud to anyone who will listen.
Have you read about the proposed high school for gay and lesbian students in Chicago? Gay and lesbian students claim that they are the victims of harassment and violence—which I do not doubt-- and want to go to school in an environment free of such things. I agree that people should have the right an educational experience free of fear for one’s own safety but the bullies are the ones that need to go. They should be subject to disciplinary action up to and including expulsion but using taxpayer monies to build a lifestyle exclusive school is going too far.
Could you imagine the uproar if a parental group suggested an all straight school so their children were not subjected to alternative lifestyles? The gay and lesbian community would go apesh*t! But wouldn’t that, by definition, be equality? Aren’t gays and lesbians one of the many groups that cry for equal rights? The right to marry, adopt, share health benefits, etc. Now, don’t think I am arguing against any of those things. If you read my post last week you know that I am all for those things. Well, not all for, but opposed to their rights as Americans being infringed upon for just not being a member of the majority. That being said, you can’t ask for equality and then expect to be granted exclusivity. Pick up a dictionary my friends. You’re not asking for equality, just hypocrisy.
I figure that this topic is as good as any to bring back the weekly poll. Vote away!
