Not Elon!

Imagine if a business voted to not to hire those who are in favor of gay marriage? I'm sure that these particular folks at Elon would be up in arms.

Finally in paragraph 4 the Assoc Depressed finally gets around to saying that this is a non binding PR stunt.

Also note: Elon was founded as a blatantly Christian college, but threw off all pretense of that maybe 15 years ago - turning hard core lesbian fem progressive - and ditching their long time athletic mascot of "Fighting Christian" for the "Phoenix" - a bird with no historical relevance to Elon.

They are a lib wannabe, run by professors looking to upgrade their radical resumes for bigger more prestigious campi.

Oh for goodness sakes. Another Elon College graduate's resume accidentally was deleted from our applicants pool.

So, if there are any conservative alumni out there still contributing, this would be a perfect opportunity to let them know...no more contributions.

I hear they want to replace it with a candy store called Fudge Packers

Then I suggest that when these students enter the real world they ask everyone they plan to do business with or purchase an item from or perhaps their doctor or dentist must pass the same "gay marriage" test. I imagine they are very big on "black rights". I wonder if they realize that there are many, many black churches who do not approve of gay marriage or abortion? So how do you handle that conundrum? This is very immature thinking on their part, a waste of time, and completely impossible to deal with. I have no doubt that they feel superior to those of us who actually believe that you are entitled to different beliefs.

if the applicant was one of the 11 who voted in the minority?

Bye-bye jobs probably held by students. Popmous, self-rightous idiots. Liberals are the most intolerant people next to Islamofascists.

I must admit that I would have changed from "Fighting Christians" too.

35 students oppose a business whose owner chooses to exercise his right of free speech. They may be "elected representatives" but I honestly wonder if they truly speak for the majority of students at the university.

"Students Against Free Speech!"

I'd be curious to know if they also decided to shun those 11 who didn't go along with the other 35.

Don't you just love the tolerance found on the college campus? /s

No money from me.

An example of what is wrong in American higher education. Students are supposed to go to college to learn something, not to teach their elders right from wrong or how society should operate. It is perfectly natural and even healthy that they, or some of them, should consider themselves mature and wise enough to opine on such important matters; it is absurd and dangerous to all concerned to pretend that they know what they are talking about. For adults to take these childish dress up, make-believe performances seriously, to give them credence and to put them into effect, is irrational, an act of mystification and a leap of faith that defies common sense.

Elon has killed free speech and freedom of expression. It has also killed the possibility of clear thinking normal people seeking enrollment.

Interviewer: What waas your major at Elon?

Applicant: Liberal arts, Feminism, Community Organizing

Interviewer: Next!

Their loss. Give them KFC.

Wow. How nice of their previous instructors to give them so much self-esteem that they actually think they can change the world around them to fit their own narrow view of it.

God forbid someone actually teach them how to learn something new from someone with a different perspective on life and learn to work with people with whom they disagree. Like we do in The Real World.

Gay people are Nazis.

Elon is a school for the grey matter challenged.

The student uproar at St. Mary's College of Maryland (where I teach ~ adjunct faculty) also forced Chick-Fil-A out of the campus center here, as well. I will stop at the local store in Lexington Park on my way home this evening to give them a few extra $$$. The students have not been taught about our Constitution and freedom of speech, unless it applies to the left and the Muslims on campus, unfortunately.

Closed-minded bigots. Shun them.

No Chicken for you!

Eat your sprouts and love it!

All points of view are welcomed, accepted, and tolerated (so long as they match ours)

I'm not sure if this is the right place to mention that it would be nice to know what state we are talking about when posting an article (eg Where is Elon?)

Time to post some posters of the Chick-fil-A cows all around campus. Wouldn't hurt to post some pictures of their delicious chicken wraps too.

FTA: The association voted 35-11 to ask its food vendor to find another restaurant to take its place.

Yeah, good luck. Nothing takes the place of a CFA chicken sandwich. They are like chocolate; you get a notion to have one and you'll drive miles to the nearest Chick-fil-A to get one. Trust me, I know. Their loss, on account of their ignorance and their newly-established intolerance of things Christian.

This is what the WH rhetoric has done to this country. A sad day indeed.

What has happened to this once proud little Church of Christ school?

Are there only this select few on campus or are there actually more students than these "intellectuals" who also have a voice about where they eat on campus? Shouldn't something like this be put to a campus-wide vote?

Re #25

In NC just a few miles west of Chapel Hill.

They play in the Southern Conference which includes one of the college-schools I graduted from, The Citadel, where the Chick-Fil-A franchise in Mark Clark Hall is perfectly safe.

Thanks

I have a sneaking suspicion the store sells more than 35 sandwiches a day. Wouldn't that be a more representative example of the Will of The People?

The 35 anti-chick members of the student government might just very strongly favor weiners over chicks. Perhaps a new election will get a more representative set of preferences (or lifestyles) into office.
