Today I went to the post office and I saw a Christian propaganda slogan
(not very offensive one, to be sure) displayed at one of the counters.
Post office is a federal agency and such displays are illegal. I was about
to complain, but then I realised that the slogan had been most likely put
by one of the Black female clerks who worked there. "If I complain," I
thought, "she would probably get a slap on the wrist from her boss, and
that would only reinforce her perception of being persecuted because of her
Christian religion -- precisely what Christian demagogues want everyone to
believe."
Consequently, I did not complain, letting the offending item stay in its
public place. What would you do in this situation?
