News Roundup.

A 12-year old girl was forced to watch Brokeback Mountain in school after being told by the substitute teacher "what happens in Ms. Buford's class stays in Ms. Buford's class." I'm so used to seeing lawsuits by the student offended at a moment of silence for possible personal prayer that it's kind of nice to see a lawsuit going the other direction. I wonder if the ACLU has offered to represent the girl? Sorry, couldn't resist. :p

Also in the standing up for your right not to be offended category, a Christian football player is claiming he was benched by coaches angry at the stand he took on a team bus. Apparently the coaches wanted to put in the uncut version of Wedding Crashers, which the player called semi-pornagraphic. When he asked them to play something else the coach cussed him out. He's been benched ever since.

Moving from the right not to be offended onto the right not to be exterminated: Muslims in Egypt went on a rampage and attacked Christians 50 miles outside Cairo. Sixty-nine Christians were injured in the riot and at least 27 of their homes and businesses were trashed. Egyptian police let the chaos continue for several hours before getting around to arresting 59 of the 500 Muslims present.
