2. I dislike the "It's ok " people who then say 'no' when it is not their religion being represented

I have known several during my academic career and they each irked me to no end.

My graduate advisor thought that every student should go to chapel at least once a week if not every day. He would make that argument all the time, even knowing that I was a pagan and that I successfully knocked his arguments down each time. Some thought he just liked arguing with me, but there were others that could feel his desire to 'convert' me. I finally figured out the fastest way to shut him up was to tell him that it was fine with me as long as it changed every week to a different religion and not just different Christian sects.

I’m not surprised that the school initially said that they would welcome the pagan books but changed their minds the moment said books showed up at their door. It is easy to claim inclusivity but implementing it is a different matter.

They make my head hurt...I think it's time to take more meds.
