Those who preach tolerance have a hard time practicing it. The Daily Nebraskan reports that Nebraska assistant football coach Ron Brown was not called back for a final interview for the head coaching job at Stanford University because he's a Christian.

In early January, shortly after Miami crushed Nebraska in the Rose Bowl, Nebraska football Assistant Coach Ron Brown journeyed to a Los Angeles hotel to interview for the coaching job at Stanford.
But he didn't get any further than the initial interview.

The reason: It soon became apparent his religious views, among other things, were incompatible with Stanford's liberal student body and active gay community.

"(His religion) was definitely something that had to be considered," said Alan Glenn, Stanford's assistant athletic director of human resources. "We're a very diverse community with a diverse alumni. Anything that would stand out that much is something that has to be looked at. ... It was one of many variables that was considered."

Substitute skin color for religion and you'd hear the screams from the mainstream media. There's only one type of person in America that it's acceptable to attack in polite company and discriminate against -- Christians. Tragic.
