Just give your heads a shake:
We don't live under a military dictatorship or on the cusp of ethnic cleansing. This extra security is for what- a truly unhinged individual or a terrific show?
Scratch a liberal coward to see how thin the skin is and rigid with fear they are.
Perhaps that's why they said nothing about the mosqueteria.
You'll also note the complete absence of this "invective" in the public forum.
Why not put it out there, Bluewater District trustees? Let everyone know what they are contending with.
Extra security will be on hand when a public school board in southern Ontario takes a final vote tonight on whether to ban free handouts of Gideon Bibles.
Based on previous votes, Bluewater District trustees are expected to put an end to the handouts to Grade 5 students by barring distribution of all non-instructional religious materials.
The issue has sparked heated emotions, with some trustees receiving threats and hate mail.The local chapter of Gideons International in Canada and some church elders have distanced themselves from those who accuse trustees of unCanadian and unChristian behaviour.
The chairwoman of the board expects the meeting to be packed.
At least one delegation is slated to speak against the ban.
Based on a legal opinion and concerns about the cost of allowing distribution of all religious materials, the trustees have so far opted to ban such handouts as several other school boards across Canada have done.
The invective of those opposed to the ban unnerved some trustees of the Bluewater board, which has more than 18,000 students in 53 schools.
Chairwoman Jan Johnstone said Monday that a recent article by The Canadian Press on the torrent of hate mail directed at trustees, some of it racist, prompted a new wave of correspondence.
This time, however, Johnstone said correspondents from across Canada and the United States were by and large "overwhelmingly supportive" of the pending ban.
