Republicans encourage dialogue
Amanda Zaluckyj and Karen Hall
College Republicans
The College Republicans have a tradition of encouraging debate on issues of public interest. In that frame of mind, we discussed initiating a debate on the merits of affirmative action. The club did not support holding a bake sale with discounted prices as a parody of affirmative action, however without proper support, individuals went forward with such a bake sale. To those who were offended by the actions of the bake sale, it is unfortunate that you were offended. However, we respect and welcome your rights to hold and express your views, and ask that you grant others the right to hold and express their views as well. We also recognize there are proper ways to publicly express ones views, and we apologize that individuals using our clubs name failed to adhere to university policies. Continuing our tradition of encouraging debate, we look forward to future endeavors that encourage and respect an open dialog on the variety of opinions within the university community.
Signed on behalf of the College Republicans,
Amanda Zaluckyj, President and Karen Hall, Vice-President

The College Republicans at Grand Valley State University are so used to degrading themselves with continuous apologies that they grovel even when it is no longer necessary to protect their own hides. Shameless!
However, we respect and welcome Bite Me!
Endless apology ping
Grovelmania continues at Grand Valley State.

Only college kids and RINOs already.
Pretty mealy-mouthed too but then that goes with the RINO territory.
And the students who held this bakesale backed off and apologised too. There is nothing to apologise for! It's alright to have different standards for different people if you're in charge of college admissions, but GOD FORBID you have a bakesale and do the same thing.
This is why we can't get anything done in the Senate, I HOPE TO GOD these aren't the people who are going to be leading our party. They're Little Bill Frists jrs.
