An article in the New Zealand Herald reports of a school, Ponce de Leon High School in Florida, whose principal engaged in a "witch hunt" against homosexual and lesbian students. The incident was initiated when a lesbian girl complained to the principal of harassment based upon her sexuality. His response was, in the words of the New Zealand Herald, "[to tell] her homosexuality is wrong,[to out] her to her parents and [to order] her to stay away from children."

The other day I happened across, in a post on FriendlyAtheist, a book by Ray Comfort. For those of you who don't keep up with the minutiae of arguments between atheists and theists, Ray Comfort is the man who brought us the Banana Argument for God: essentially, that the banana is so perfectly formed, it has to be evidence of Yahweh. He is surely a man of formidable intelligence.
