Political Correctness
At our school me and my Christian union had various plans on outreach for the school, fun games that had no "religious" ties to them, and also a "real easter" workshop being run at break that would be optional for all who wanted to know more about the real meaning of easter. Obviously, being a Christian group, we decided to uphold Christian values, and ask permission from the head of the school first, rather than just sticking the posters up and running them anyway (I voted for that, but the rest of the group disagreed). so we asked the head, who surprisingly denied our proposal, under the banner that it would "offend" people of other beliefs, and that it was breaking the "equality" of the school where race and beliefs come in. Now i don't know about you, but if i offered you the chance to look round school and find hidden tokens to exchange for easter eggs, I wouldn't say, NO!!, THATS RIDICULOUS, I'M GOING TO REPORT YOU TO THE HEAD, I'M SO OFFENDED!!. no, you would say, "thanks" and start looking, no matter what race or belief system your life is under. it is really true that political correctness has truly gone mad in our society, and all the people of influence anywhere are letting it run wild in there work places, especially when it is state run. our school CU's are in great danger of becoming extinct, or having so little power over being able to reach out into their environment that the point of a CU is lost. the great thing is, we serve an awesome god who is all powerful, and can do something about it. so please pray about this, not just for my situation, but for CU's in general, so that we can see young people come to Christ through there local CU as they have done in the past. thanks =)
