An Accident?

The European Commission has issued a diary to schools right across the EU that lists Muslim and Jewish festivals, and those of just about every other religion: except Christianity.

If ever you catch me ranting about the kids of today, their uselessness, stupidity, lack of character, you name it, just mention to me the name ‘Jordan Rice.’ I promise that will suffice to shut me up, and to replace my arrogance with true humility. Jordan Rice was thirteen when he found himself trapped with his family on the roof of their car in the Queensland floods.
