difference between cultures. Although I am a liberal i do agree it has been taken to an extreme. People don't understand that other people's cultures do not need to be forced upon others. All that is needed is simple recognition. Everyone should be allowed to do their thing whether it is christmas, kwanza, or whatever. The difference is they should not have to abolish their own culture to avoid hurting other groups feelings. Wehn you played with your barbies on the playground, if another kid didn't like your barbie, that didn't mean you had to throw it away did you? No! the other kid just didn't play with it

In addition, a lot of you have probably heard of the affiliates complaining about a lack of diversity on the News team.

It's what's killing American culture and letting Islam be taught as fact in our schools, because it's a recognition of other faiths. It lets people hang up decorations for kwanzaa (which really isn't a "holiday, it's a celebration of african harvest) but won't allow christmas trees or manger scenes shown in public, it's insulting to the immigrants and blacks. It's why santa decorations are also made to be black, despite the fact that St. Nicholas was NOT black, but it's a recognition of diversity, people. It's just as bad as cultural diffusion.

A program created by the government to help "troubled teens" who find themselves in a position to getting a charge against them. to keep them "out of the court" the kids are accepted into a diversion program. Through the whole thing, the government, the teens and the parents waste a whole lot of time and whole of tax dollars, ameliorating absolutely nothing. When getting a ticket would have been a better option in the first place.
Teen #1: Dude, did you hear? That girl told us for denting mailboxes?
Teen #2: Oh, dont worry dude, we just got diversion.
Teen#1: OHHH NOOO!
Teen #3: Duuuude, im just gonna go to court, like a smart kid.
