oso Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 (edited) The government shouldn't be mandating any morality, not even as a requirement to be a government employee. It should, in an official context, discuss political rights, not morality. Edited August 31, 2012 by oso Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
