Just asking...
Every day we are inundated with stories of one person or another sueing somebody else.
What ever happened to the apology?
I know I'm not too big to apologize when I'm wrong.
Recently I read this article:

Here's a little text though:
"A religious group filed a federal lawsuit Friday against the Manhattan Beach school district on behalf of two parents who claim they've been barred from hanging decorative ceramic tiles in the shape of a cross on an elementary school wall.
The Scottsdale, Ariz.-based Alliance Defense Fund alleges the Manhattan Beach Unified School District infringed on the free speech rights of parents Don and Meagan Burrows, who arranged the tiles several months ago during a campus fund-raiser at Pacific Elementary School."
Now, this seems pretty minor to me and if they offended these people wouldn't it be prudent and acceptible for the School Board member who made the decision to simply apologize? Is a lawsuit with damages awarded really needed? This is just one example - I'm sure there are others we could easily find in the news.
We teach our kids that when they do something wrong they should apologize but when we as adults do something wrong it seems that more and more we turn to the courts. Whiskey tango foxtrot.
I mean "come on!"
