Everyone wants to argue
about the Duck Dynasty controversy, but I think it's important to recognize the
positive aspect as well. First, Phil
Robertson has the right to say what he wants to say in regards to the Bible,
homosexuals, and anything else. Second,
A&E has the right to fire Phil for what he says. Third, people that watch A&E have the
right not to watch it anymore, and we all have the right to criticize each
other for what we think about it one way
or another.
Contrast the Duck
Dynasty situation with how things are done in other countries. In Pakistan, a
young girl (Malala Yousafzai) wanted to go to school. She didn't have
the right to say that she wanted to go to school. When she said it anyway, she
got shot. Little girls going to school is
not controversial in the United States, but even if it were, we wouldn’t shoot
each other over it.
So for all the controversy
surrounding Duck Dynasty, to me, it's still important to realize that even in
such a harsh disagreement, we are still just disagreeing instead of killing
each other. Hopefully, we can all see
that’s a good thing.
