San Antonio Texas wants to ban Christians from holding public office.

[Guest TankerHC]

Heard about this on the radio yesterday. So from "my understanding" meaning the way it was talked about, they would ban anyone who spoke out about religioun, anyone who did things like "Discriminate against the homosexual lifestyle because it goes against their religoun", things like that.

 

It was pointed out that San Antonio has a lot of Hispanics who are very religous and pro marriage and family oriented, lots of Catholics.

 

Plenty of articles on it, take your pick.

“It’s extremely dangerous,” said Ken Klukowski, of the Family Research Council, to  Fox. “This is a flagrant violation of the U.S. Constitution and the San Antonio City Council looks like a bunch of anti-Christian activists.”

In fact, he says, if the council approves the ordinance they would be guilty of “viewpoint discrimination.”

“If it’s passed, any person who has either expressed any belief in favor of traditional marriage or in terms of Judeo-Christian morality regarding sexuality in general, verbally or in writing, could be barred from participating in public life on that city council,” he explained.

Texas should just ban San Antonio

I don't see how this ban would stand up to a court challenge . Besides if you start banning people for disagreeing with something, you wouldn't have anyone left to serve.

It won't. Just another stab from the PC commies.

So the PC crowd wants to fix "discrimination" by discriminating against Christians... typical liberal lunacy.

Yeah, this is going nowhere fast. Just another case of "well we tried."

For some reason when I think San Antonio I also think the Spurs. So that led to my random thought of the day: are there any cities that have NBA franchises that are not liberal crazy towns?
