Liberalism is becoming fascism 'cause ... [View all]
Listening to the radio this morning and the main topic for discussion was a teacher in Northern Ireland who put a display on a school notice board calling the day that abortions were decriminalised, and gay marriage was legalised the ‘darkest day’. Because this is Northern Ireland, which is further right in some respects than the bible belt in America, the reaction was mixed but mostly a shrug, because why shouldn’t she be allowed to express her views etc etc …not surprising really. But completely wrong. Since when was it OK for a teacher to push their religious beliefs on children? It is complete and utter nonsense. But the icing on the cake was the religious right phoning in and the common theme was liberalism is becoming fascism ‘cause we will not tolerate the far right freedom of speech to speak hatred (or as they put it, be anti-progressive)? Heh.
Dorothy we are not in Kansas anymore… seems like we are coming up beside the far-right Christo-fascist movements in the USA who do false equivalency oh so very well.
