Punishing People in the Name of "Tolerance."

During my years on the Left, I was always told how we must strive to promote the acceptance of diversity and encourage the embracing of tolerance.  However, as the years passed, I grew to realize that the Left was not very tolerant of "Diversity of thought."  The incidents that we are seeing over the past few years are confirming this.  In the nation of Canada, a high school student by the name of Josh Alexander was arrested in school for saying that men and women are "different."  Even more amazingly, this happened at a Christian school, indicating that many churches are now compromising the teachings of their own scriptures in order to appease "tolerance."  Sadly, this is not unheard of in our history.  In communist Romania, many church leaders compromised their scripture in order to appease the communist dictatorship of Nicolae Ceausescu.  Likewise, many Christian clergy chose to compromise their scriptures to appease Nazi leadership in Germany once Hitler took power.  It seems that now, history is repeating itself once again.  



Sadly, we are not recognizing this reality.  In fact, we are allowing it to spread. In the state of Vermont, a Girls Basketball team of Mid Vermont Christian School chose to forfeit a game when it was revealed that one of the plays on the opposing team was transgender.  Across the nation, many female athletes have been on record complaining that trans students have an unfair advantage due to their different biological makeup and have called for a halt in allowing trans athletes on girls teams for this reason.   Some, like this team, have even decided to forgo competing in order to try and raise awareness on this unfair policy.  However, it seems that in Vermont, the school accepting a loss and forfeiting their chance to win a tournament as isn't punishment enough for their refusal to play.  The Vermont Principal's Association decided to ban the entire school from all sports tournaments from now on.  Perhaps the Left should have just been focused on promoting physical diversity, but also diversity of thought.
