A reagent-quality example of the New Inquisition at work. A school supervisor in Palm Beach has been fired for calling homosexuals a "protected species".

During the meeting, Lynch brought up the board's discrimination policy, amended in 2003 to protect individuals on the basis of sexual orientation. According to the meeting transcript, Lynch complained that the school district's enforcement of the policy was insufficient.
"So we now added this protected species and we haven't done it to the level we need to," he said.
And anotherironic strange perfectly predictable thing is that the firing perfectly proves Lynch's own point. This species has so many layers of legal protection that you can't even state the fact that this species is protected.
