Joe Scarborough: “The gentleman has touched on something, we have seen it on local school boards, he has touched on something that we have…”

“The gentleman has touched on something, we have seen it on local school boards, he has touched on something that we have seen up here for too long now. What that is, is people parading around in a politically correct cloak that will tell us in the name of tolerance that they have a right to be intolerant, that they have a right again to preach this valueless void, where Jews, Christians, Muslims cannot express their views. Mr. Speaker, I do not fear my 9-year-old boy, who is in public schools, hearing somebody who is of the Muslim faith speak. I do not fear my 9-year-old boy hearing an orthodox Jew speak to him or to his class or a Catholic or a Pentecostal or a Baptist. I do not fear that. America, according to Jefferson, who the radicals are now calling radical, according to Jefferson, America is the free marketplace of ideas, where the strongest ideas survive. Yet what they want to do is this sort of moral leveling, where there is this valueless void where nothing is right, nothing is wrong, nothing is black, nothing is white, nothing is legal, nothing is illegal. We are seeing that manifest in the papers every day when officials in this administration continue to talk about moral revelancy, moral equivalency: Hey, nothing is right, nothing is wrong; I know what the law says, but it is not really important.”
