Well you are in the wrong country then.
It seems to be an issue in our schools, for the PC police,
your place of business, churches, all politics, sports, advertising, TV shows, and every facet of the gov now.
New American Civic Religion Rejects ChristianityWhat it Means
By Kelly OConnell May 5, 2014
A recent event in Los Angeles, California, bizarrely illustrates the madhouse that unfettered application of Political Correctness has created in America. Morality has become a land of shifting sands and anyone can get slapped down like a miscreant at a moments notice. A local college sought a commencement speaker for their graduation ceremony.
The first person chosen was a homosexual male. Oscar-winning screenwriter Dustin Lance Black was invited to be Pasadena City Colleges commencement speaker. But, before the speech date, sex pics surfaced of this man with a boyfriend, and leaked onto the Internet. Embarrassed, the school invited another speakerPasadena Public Health Director Eric Walsh. Yet, before Walsh could deliver, tapes of him next surfaced. He is also pastor of a local Christian denomination, where he condemned the local school district for pandering to gays, and he slammed evolution.
And so what did the school do? What any upstanding, modern, socially aware, educational institution would do in this situationthey re-invited the first man pictured performing homosexual acts. (The amateur gay porn star has yet to respond.) What is the message here? That being pictured doing reckless and obscene acts isnt nearly as bad as being a bigot. Of course, being bigoted today means you simply agree with up to 70% of Americans that the Bibles statements about morality are correct. But is it sane, fair, or even safe to sanction anyone who dares criticize gay rights, while giving sexual adventurers a permanent green light? Is all morality now defined in PC terms? If so, why? And do all who run afoul of PC standards deserve to be driven into the wilderness?
And so we would be remiss not to sum up the general elements of the classic American civil religion: Hard work, thrift, honesty, Christian forgiveness, sexual chastity, respect for authority, family mindedness, concern for justice, character over worldly success, courage, civic dedication, independence, knowledge of the Bible, military strength, church attendance, open mindedness, care for the poor, widow and orphan, prayer, faith, modesty, and patriotism.
