I don't think it is under attack, I think that is by far the widely
held position.
Most of the rights to be protected are in common, anyway.
But all people need to have those rights protected.
There are extra safeguards to protect minorities form having those
common rights threatened.
Human relations commissions, civil rights divisions in law
enforcement, etc.
those rights are a lot less threatened then they were 40 years ago.
Its to the point that we have other things in society we need to worry
about
more than that.
