tolerance and religious rights in new zealand

The New Zealand government, we are told by the MandM blog, is forcing re-education for officials of a religious school who hired fired an openly homosexual preacher teacher.  And this reminds us that “Human Rights” laws are generally divided into two types:  (1) non-invasive, such as a law which prohibits assault or government discrimination against homosexuals, or (2) invasive, such as a law which mandates that even a school which teaches against homosexuality be required by law to keep open homosexuals on staff.  Category 1, you see, forces nothing more than a recognition of basic human rights.  Category 2, while often conflated with category 1, forces a disregard for human rights such as religious freedom.  Think about it.
