now... what is Freedom of Speech?

I find it absolutely ridiculous …. and find a huge disappointment at the policies that the school systems in Canada is implementing.

What were they thinking…?
1. It is ok to freely talk about being LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transexual) It is even ok to admit you are one and be "proud" (OK, this part can be acceptable, after all, we all are here to learn about accepting one another)

2. It is alright to talk about Islamic beliefs, Buddhism beliefs… etc. In fact, the teachers encourage students to do so. (again, this is ok, since we are trying to share with everyone what we think, believe, etc)

3. Why can’t those wish to celebrate Christian holidays also? Why must Christmas be refered to as “Happy Holidays” and it is wrong to say Merry Christmas? (Please go and look up the meaning of this holiday,  it was created for the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ... not made for your family gatherings and present giving holiday, please be respectful. If you intend to "steal" someone's holiday and celebration, at least be nice about it...)

I am reminded of a news story I heard about a year ago:
A Student is suspended for wearing a "Life is wasted without Jesus." themed t-shirt (isn't this kid, like others just trying to express his beliefs?)

two questions:

Why is everyone so against Christianity? Why do Christians not have "equal" treatment?

AND

What does freedom of speech mean? Why are there so many contradictions when it comes to this right?
