Who decides what "rights" are right?

We are supposed to teach being tolerant of other lifestyles and religious preferences, unless of course you believe in God, then shut up. The principals this country was built on have been shoved under the rug because it might offend someone else. In school it is wrong to pray before a meal, but only if your praying to God, if your of some other religion you may do as you please. We can no longer say "One nation under God" because someone else might not believe. My children no longer have Halloween parties at school because there is ONE child whose religion it is against. Christmas parties are off because it offends, now they have to be "winter" parties. All others who are "different" are to be tolerated and catered to, but those of us who have the same beliefs as many generations before us (the ones who built this country) are supposed to sit down and shut up? How is that teaching tolerance? If you are straight, are of a native religion to this country, believe in God, believe marriage is between a man and a woman, then you are considered intolerant and ignorant. I'm just not seeing the two-way street here.

My X never paid a dime - he still had his "rights." (sm)
You seem to be so afraid that you will lose all your rights. Why would you think this? I can't see how you would. Don't let him scare you. If you can't afford a lawyer, go to Legal Aid. They helped me immensely when my X refused to return kids after a visit.
Step up and be the parent! If he decides he wants
