A very slippery slope


One of my seminary professors shared this story with us about why his family left Germany. One day as his neighbor was preparing dinner she grabbed one of her chickens and stretched out its neck on a tree stump in the yard and as she cut off its head she said "I wish this was Hitler." The next day she was arrested and never seen again.


Is this not the frightening bottom of the slippery slope down which we are falling when a federal Judge rules that a school can discipline a girl for using a common vulgar insult in reference to school officials in a blog entry posted from her home computer. Read the story What happened to the Constitution and freedom of speech?
