Should you be intolerant of intolerance or tolerate it. The answer is not so simple when whatever decision you make violates someone’s rights.
The never-ending question. Allowing hate speech allows bigots to recruit the weak-minded. Allowing censorship allows suppression of truth by those same bigots. Maybe better secondary education on reason, logic, humanism so even the dummies can spot when they’re being lied to would help. In the ‘70’s the ACLU was widely criticized for suing to allow Nazis to march in Skokie IL. Today they’re apparently everywhere, but for every bigot with a tiki torch there are 15 decent people standing up for humanity. So, maybe allowing us to see how small and ridiculous these clowns are is ultimately helpful.
I refuse to patronize chic-fil-a because I will not support their attitudes and religion. That alone should not be reason enough for an airport to ban them, but that they would lose revenue certainly should be more than enough of a reason. Then again, any group or business that openly discriminates should NOT be allowed to do business in a public place... (And I am stating this without even knowing who owns the airport!)
So maybe if Atheists worked the the concession on Sundays? I don't think it is intolerant if in fact Chick-Fil-A, as the article states "it's difficult to get a Chick-Fil-A franchise. If they won't franchise an Atheist or Gay why should the airport allow them when they'll close on Sundays and the airport losses revenue. Why should they get to make the rules claiming "religious rights" when all the other franchises comply?
Good points.
