A Case for Political Correctness

Is France teaching us a lesson? Is the lesson that this country is on the right track? I heard a report from France last night that said that young Arabs in France see the United States as a paradise, where muslims are respected and allowed to practice their religion without interference.

Though far from perfected, could it be that the idea of listening to and respecting the minority voice keeps them from feeling irrelevant? Could it be that letting the majority, because of its sheer numbers, call all the shots is an invitation to social upheaval? It seems that we've tried that before and had results similar to what is happening in France today.

To the all the folks who think that the majority not only rules but dictates what inclusion means, remember that people do not suffer in silence for very long; not the young ones, anyway.
