Texas students see religious bias with 'year of Our Lord' - Washington Times

Political correctness is an absolute idiocy contrived to make people feel good and utilized to attack the beliefs and customs of people or institutions that run counter to liberal-progressive ideology.  Prime among the beliefs that can be attacked with impunity is Christianity. In this story we hear of an objection to the term "In the year of Our Lord" that commonly precedes the year date on some, but not all, formal official documents.  In Western society we track the year date from the birth of Jesus Christ thus the term "In the year of Our Lord."  It has, therefore, a cultural and historical basis for being in formal documents, most especially university diplomas.

Now we have a petition begun by a Muslim student who attended Trinity College.  She objects to using the term "In the year of Our Lord" because it refers to Jesus Christ and, as she says, "...not everyone believes in Jesus Christ."  It makes me wonder about the type of student being accepted at Trinity College which is widely known for its Presbyterian founding just as much as Notre Dame or Georgetown are known to be connected to Catholicism.  If the students apply to that university one would think that they would know in advance that they are entering a school with a strong religious Christian foundation.  Not a Muslim foundation.  Not a Buddhist foundation.  Not a Rastafarian foundation.   A Christian foundation.  So what does this brilliant student, who happens to be Muslim and the head of the "Trinity Diversity Connection" do?  She wants to remove the reference to Jesus Christ because she doesn't believe in Jesus Christ.  Diversity, it seems, is a one way concept in her budding genius of a mind.  It seems she only celebrates diversity when it elevates her beliefs over the established beliefs of the institution she chose to attend.  Given her devotion to Islam, it would seem to have been more logical if she had chosen to attend university in Saudi Arabia where I'm sure they don't use the term "In the year of Our Lord."  But then again, in Saudi Arabia there is no "diversity" allowed.

Talk about chutzpah!
