Washington newspaper justifies discrimination

The Washington Times is the daily newspaper you can recommend to friends who think of the Dallas Morning News as "the liberal media."

Until a year or two ago, they refused to use the word gay. They still don't use transgender. Gender identity goes in quotes as does marriage when it refers to a same-sex couple.

Last week, they ran an editorial entitled, "Discrimination is Necessary."

Had the paper been around 50 years ago, the first sentence would have been similar:

"First-graders should not be forced into the classrooms of teachers undergoing sex changes" would have read, "First-graders should not be forced into the classrooms of teachers of other races."
