A public school district, at least that is how I understand it being a US citizen, is saying it will cut ties with a Christian school over its use of scripture. http://www.metronews.ca/news/edmonton/20...an-academy.html

as they could be seen as "targeting vulnerable minorities.”
No doubt they were concerned about the "nor thieves" portion of the verses. Likely concerned about students who cheat on tests may feel offended.

LOL. I might agree with your analysis, only the number of cheaters is now so high that they aren't really a minority anymore. The percentages of cheaters I've seen from studies done here in the US are so high it boggles my mind. http://www.academicintegrity.org/icai/integrity-3.phpAnd that is just the number who admit to cheating. How many more cheat but won't admit it, who knows? Honesty is a pretty uncommon trait these days.

This kind of thing is going to become more common. Camrose is about a 90 min drive from where I live. Its a beautiful area for photography. This article highlights the kinds of things we can all expect, regardless of where we live. The advent of internet and high speed communications and transportation makes the world a pretty small place when it comes to saying things that "offend people." As Christians, we should pay closer attention to what we say, and how we say it. There may come a time when "love one another" becomes "offensive" to some.
