Meanwhile, in Florida, an 8-year-old girl was banned from singing "Kum Ba Yah" at the North Port Boys & Girls day camp talent show. She had practiced all week, but the staff showed no mercy, serenely certain that higher moral principles were at stake, such as, well, tolerance and inclusion. Bill Sadlo, director of operations, told Associated Press: "We don't want to take the chance of a child offending another child's religion."
"We just can't allow any religious songs," pontificated Randy Bouck, the local club's director. "You have to check your religion at the door."
Welcome to tolerance, 21st-century style. And oh yes, the Supreme Court decision that Boy Scouts are a private group that cannot be forced to adopt others' moral views? That was a 5-4 decision. Don't forget to vote this November.
