Two Tiered Justice System

One system for the atheists, blacks, gay/lesbians, et al and another system for the rest of us. I don't know about the 9th Circuit Court but I believe I would be reluctant to excercise my rights to freedom of expression if I was threatened with loss of my job, my pension, etc.

9th Circus Says 'Family Values' is Hate Speech

We read:

" A ruling from the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has concluded that municipal employers have the right to censor the words "natural family," "marriage" and "family values" because that is hate speech and could scare workers....

However, as the Pro-Family Law Center noted, the court "completely failed to address the concerns of the appellants with respect to the fact that the City of Oakland's Gay-Straight Employees Alliance was openly allowed to attack the Bible in widespread city e-mails, to deride Christian values as antiquated, and to refer to Bible-believing Christians as hateful.

When the plaintiffs attempted to refute this blatant attack on people of faith, they were threatened with immediate termination by the City of Oakland. The Ninth Circuit did not feel that the threat of immediate termination had any effect on free speech."
