Washington College gets Itself Noticed over policy

Post by Duper »

I'll link the articles.

In short, an Eastern Washington Community college bared students from holding a prolife event and from handing out literature on the anniversary of Roe vs Wade. This is just crazy. One of the schools main arguments was that since Washington allowed abortions, it was illegal to hold anything prolife. That's a boiling down of it.

Go Here and

Here to read the details.

Incidentally, \"noticed\" is hardly an accurate term as I only got 2 hits on Google.

This is political correctness taken to an unhealthy extreme. There are issues going on at that college that go beyond the prolife issue.

Crazy, but I think if it's a private institution they get to bar what they want. I think Bob Jones banning inter-racial dating was a little more absurd.

Let us all remember the Big Gay Al Boyscouts episode of South Park and the moral behind it.

It's a community college. The first amendment protects that right. There are plenty of other rulings on the books that will make this point mute.

I don't watch South Park if I can help it.

Yeah, I think it's total crap to bar them from doing it, but they can stop it so they wish... :roll:

Whoo...
being in the seafood industry I can safely say that either never learn about fish-sticks or stop eating them, I wouldn't recommend any other course of action.

It was a reference from last Wednesday's Southpark, the correct anwser was something along the lines of,

"I'm not a gay fish."

So fish-sticks are like the hot dog meat of seafood?
(I long ago recognized this fact... just how many fish-sticks you see swimming in the wild?)

It's never good to wake up in the shrubs naked, you either got way too drunk, or your azz is a werewolf.
