Adoption Site Banned in California

I am glad that we left our home state of California. Freedom of association and freedom to serve those who you choose to market to are DEAD.

Based on the theory that a company cannot refuse to do business based on discriminatory attitudes has hit an internet based firm. They have matched married couples with unwed moms for the purpose of adopting babies.

However, they have refused to list homosexual partners as adoption parents, and California has decided that this is unacceptable. Either the website must serve homosexual partners or it must cease doing business in California.

I wonder if the Chinese Laundries in California will have to hire white people and serve black people! I remember being pushed out of a Chinese laundry many years ago, with the proprietor yelling "White! White! You go!" to me.

Ah, yes. The freedom to practice one's religion is strictly a private right, to be practiced behind closed doors and without a public audience. So, if one is a religious person who believes that children should not be raised by homosexual partners, then one must keep one's views deeply hidden.

Central Michigan University Students May Discriminate on the Basis of Politics

On a few occasions during the past four years, I have noted that a ploy to destroy some college student organizations comes from within. What? You ask? Well, if a person is an "outsider" to any given organization, and really, really dislikes the message/dogma/political message, etc. of that organization, the "outsider" can join the organization and try to change things from the inside.

I first heard of this type of tactic way back in 1974 from a man I was dating at the time. Apparently, it is an effective technique.

Yesterday, Central Michigan University revised its policy that banned ideological and political groups from discriminating (via membership) on the basis of political persuasion." How this works: a libertarian group can now require that its members be libertarians. Or, perhaps more importantly, the board of the campus Republican club can now insist that its members be Republicans, not Democrats, or Green Party, or whatever.

However, I could not find any mention of this decision on the University's website.
