This is another one in my crazy headline series. The headline above is taken from the good old "Sacramento Bee" again. In the body of the article we read of the fungus concerned: "It is harmless to healthy people". So much for "toxic". Most things are toxic in some dose and to some people, of course. Are peanuts "toxic"? They kill a lot of people who are allergic to them.
Christian Viewpoint Banned Again
Censorship in North Carolina:
"The Sampson County school system stands behind a decision to suspend a student for passing out Christian leaflets at Midway High School, Superintendent Stewart Hobbs said Friday... The handouts, which presented a Christian viewpoint on homosexuality, caused a disturbance in the school and prompted some students, teachers and a parent to complain, Hobbs said".

The school can teach that homosexuality is good and wonderful but nobody is allowed to give the opposite message, apparently.
In Matthew 28:18,19 Jesus said: "Go ye therefore and teach all nations ... teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you". So the kid was just practicing his religion -- and THAT is constitutionally protected. The kid was not doing it in class time.
The reason honcho Hobbs mentioned "disturbance" is because anything that disrupts teaching has reasonably been held by the courts to trump free speech. But there was no teaching disrupted and it is surely in any case disrupters who should be disciplined rather than someone peacefully handing out leaflets.
Anyway, the school is now in the courts over it. It is really amazing the lengths they go to in order to preach a Leftist gospel on the taxpayer's dime.
Pennsylvania Students cannot Abide Criticism of Islam
A letter about Muslim immigrants and Muslim students appeared in a Wilkes-Barre newspaper which said, among other things:
"It is said we are having a clash of civilizations, but as we can plainly see, only one side is civilized ...Wake up Americans. We are letting the barbarians in and we must be diligent."

So about 300 students at the local university held a "peaceful protest" on their campus about the letter. They were objecting to the newspaper's decision to publish it. Diversity of views was apparently not on their agenda.
