University to ban Bibles
Wants 'students of all faiths feel at home'
October 21, 2005 Edinburgh University in Scotland will begin banning Holy Bibles from its student halls of residence due to concern they are the source of discrimination against students of other faiths.
…A Gideon Bible is traditionally placed in the room of all new students, and there are currently about 2,000 bibles in the Pollock Halls campus near Holyrood Park. Gideons International has handed out 63 million Bibles worldwide in places such as hotels, prisons and hospitals.
…This is not the first removal of faith from Edinburgh University. Last year the school removed prayer from graduation ceremonies.
…An Edinburgh University spokesman says the university will make a final decision later but will take the wishes of the student body into account: "The student body is made up of diverse faith backgrounds which are evenly supported by the University Chaplaincy which pursues a policy of supporting all faiths and none."

I guess “tolerance” means we have to accept black racism... Compare this to the press coverage those idiotic Neo-Nazis in Ohio got last week. Did you see this on ABC, CBS, NBC, or CNN?
Professor: Exterminate white people (your tax money at work)
October 22, 2005 A visiting professor at North Carolina State University says the solution to the problems faced by many blacks is the extermination of "white people off the face of the planet."
Kamau Kambon, who taught Africana Studies at the Raleigh school last spring, told a panel at Howard University Law School Oct. 14 this action must be taken "because white people want to kill us," the Carolina Journal reported.
…Excerpts of the speech can be heard here (http://www.johnlocke.org/lockerroom/lockerroom.html?id=5854) and the entire event is archived by C-SPAN http://www.c-span.org/search/basic.asp?ResultStart=1&ResultCount=10&BasicQueryText=black+media+forum .
Kambon told the audience white people "have retina scans, they have what they call racial profiling (no, you moron, it's whatYOU call racial profiling, things like having to show a photo ID to vote), DNA banks, and they're monitoring our people to try to prevent the one person from coming up with the one idea. And the one idea is, how we are going to exterminate white people, because that in my estimation is the only conclusion I have come to. We have to exterminate white people off the face of the planet to solve this problem."
In his Oct. 14 session, Kambon told the panel blacks are "at war."
White people, he said, had set up an "international plantation" for blacks, which made "every white person on earth a plantation master."
"You're either supporting white people in their process of death, or you're for African liberation," Kambon said, according to the Journal.
"White people want to kill us," he said. 'I want you to understand that. They want to kill you," he said. "They want to kill you because that is part of their plan."
Kambon, recipient of a Citizen's Award in 1999 by the local, left-wing newspaper Independent Weekly, previously was a professor of education at St. Augustine's College in Raleigh, a historically black institution, the Journal said.

Judge Blocks New Georgia Voter ID Law
October 18, 2005 ATLANTA — A federal judge blocked Georgia from enforcing a new state law requiring voters to show photo identification at the polls.
In issuing the preliminary injunction, U.S. District Judge Harold Murphy said the law amounts to an unconstitutional poll tax because the state is not doing enough to make ID cards available to those who cannot afford them… A driver's license with a photo is sufficient under the law. But those who do not have a license must obtain a state ID card, which can cost up to $35. The governor said such cards would be given free to those who cannot afford the fee…
Voter and civil rights groups sued over the new law, which eliminates the use of other forms of voter identification, such as Social Security cards, birth certificates or utility bills. (none of which have photos, by the way, how do these folks cash checks without ID’s…?)
The requirement "is most likely to prevent Georgia's elderly, poor and black voters from voting," Murphy wrote. "For those citizens… the loss of their right to vote — is undeniably demoralizing and extreme." (The requirement to prohibit the use of photo IDs is most likely to allow voter fraud to continue in order to unfairly affect elections…)

The Good old 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals yesterday upheld Seattle Public Schools' use of race as a tiebreaker in assigning students to popular high schools, and the plaintiffs vowed to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.
The ruling comes on the heels of decisions by federal appellate judges in the 1st and 6th Circuits upholding local school authorities' use of race as a factor in student-assignment plans in Massachusetts and Kentucky. Plaintiffs in all three cases sued on the basis that the school districts' plans violated their individual rights to equal protection under the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
Here's how the racial tiebreaker worked: When a high school received more applicants than it had seats for, a series of tiebreakers gave assignment preference to students.
...if the racial balance of the school's student body varied by 15 percent or more from the white-nonwhite districtwide ratio — 40 percent white to 60 percent minority — students were given preference if they brought the student body closer to that ratio.
...School districts face a "strict scrutiny" standard laid down by the U.S. Supreme Court in prior equal-protection cases: They must show that the government has a "compelling interest" in using racial categories and that these actions are "narrowly tailored" to not favor one race over another.
...The four judges who wrote the dissenting opinion challenged the idea that racial diversity in schools was a compelling state interest, saying that the research was inconclusive on whether it benefited students academically.
The harm of inciting racial hostility outweighed any vague benefit of diversity, Judge Carlos Bea wrote."The way to end racial discrimination is to stop discriminating by race," he wrote.
Kathleen Brose said she cares about diversity, but she cares more about children being able to attend their neighborhood school...

High school hosts 'National Coming Out'
October 19, 2005 A Maryland high school is observing "National Coming Out Week" with events organized by the campus Gay/Straight Alliance, prompting protests from parents.
The activities at Pikesville High School in Pikesville, Md., ...include... a homosexual film festival, according to local WJZ-TV.
...The observance, which began Monday, encourages homosexuals to admit their sexual preference to others and encourages heterosexuals to show support.
...Many Pikesville parents, noticing the police presence, found out about the observance for the first time when they arrived Monday morning at the school campus...
...The event comes as Time magazine's controversial cover story on "gay teens" is being denounced by critics as blatant homosexual propaganda – which is not surprising, since the Time journalist who researched and wrote the story is a homosexual with a long history of advancing "gay" causes, including the promotion of anonymous homosexual orgies...
School Principal Dorothy Hardin says she understands the concerns of parents but believes they shouldn't worry because the message is tolerance, understanding and awareness.
