So many imagine that only speech THEY don’t like will be outlawed. This trend suggests our free institutions are in deep, deep trouble.

Excellent! Thank you to your friend.
So you know: the French Conseil d’Etat has moved to remove the cross above a statue of John-Paul II in Ploërmel, Brittany, as a religious symbol incongruent with the separation of church and state… It has also ruled against placing “crêches de Noël” in city halls in France. For the same reason. Grrrrr.

I know, and I can tell you I get so, SO very angry every time some new crazy decision of the sort is taken – madness, and it feels like there’s nothing we can do about it.

The problem is only the far right complains about it, which… obviously makes it worse. I think the more we spread such opinions, among sensible people, maybe it will stop. (But I have my doubts)
