SOUTH BEND Students at Indiana University South Bend may have noticed something missing from their lunch menu. Chick-fil-A sandwiches are no longer allowed to be sold on campus.
The university decided to remove Chick-fil-A as a campus vendor after news that a Pennsylvania franchise will be donating food for an event hosted by a known anti-homosexual group.
"Chick-fil-A's already known as a Christian organization, said IU South Bend senior Brian Jernigan. So, I'm not really surprised that they would donate to an organization that's against homosexual values."
News of the ban spread quickly, prompting Chick-fil-A's president to release an online statement defending his company.
"Providing food to these events or any event is not an endorsement of the mission, political stance or motives of this or any other organization, said Chick-fil-A President Dan Cathy. Any suggestion otherwise is just inaccurate."
Some IU South Bend students don't see things the same way.
"Providing food is equal to donating money, said IU South Bend junior Erin Rempala. So you must believe in the cause to donate the food."
The Chick-fil-A sandwiches were only sold on Wednesdays at the Courtside Cafe. Indiana University has full Chick-fil-A restaurants at their Bloomington and Indianapolis campuses.
"I think the university is OK with them, said IU South Bend senior Justin Samson. I just think people are just over-reacting with what Chick-fil-A stands for and I just think that they need to settle down and accept that everybody doesn't have to have the same belief."
Many students said they didn't even notice the sandwiches were gone and the university says they don't plan to bring in a vendor to replace Chick-fil-A.
Chick-fil-A's president also said that the company strives to create a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere for all its customers.
I say its time to go get some Chick-Fil-A....and support my first major employer (my first job outside of newspaper and book sales was Chick-Fil-A, in Orlando, 30 years ago)
IU-South Bend...sounds like a gay porn flick
When I was in college I worked in the kitchen of a hospital owned by Seventh Day Adventists. The chicken was fake.
Why are Christian students and their parents giving their money to this university that is so obviously anti-Christian?
Let the ungodly fund these indoctrination centers.
Notre Dame went ‘queer’ 50 years ago. It has never looked back!
1. Anal sex with multiple partners in a single evening
2. Sticking your schlong through holes in bathroom stalls to receive/give anonymous oral sex
3. Molesting young children at 17 times the rate of heterosexuals
4. Domestic violence with your partner at 6 times the rate of heterosexuals
5. Suicide rate at 10 times the rate of heterosexuals.
Get with the program you HATER!
said IU South Bend senior Brian Jernigan. So, I’m not really surprised that they would donate to an organization that’s against homosexual values.”
homosexual values?? Do these young idiots ever listen to what they say?
Which homosexual values does he mean? Buggery? Aids? Suicides?
Tax increases and doubling the size of Government is an “Investment”.
And destroying the entire American Free Enterprise system is “Winning The Future”! (WYF?) This is all starting to take shape........so to speak........
...so they're obviously a subversive bunch.
That’s Racist.
Something tells me that IU South Bend senior Brian Jernigan and IU South Bend junior Erin Rempala are not the sharpest knives in the drawer. Evidently they don't understand simple concepts such as the difference between the actions of the Chick-fil-A company and the actions of a Chick-fil-A franchisee.
But, intelligence is not all that important an attribute these days - Brian and Erin's know-nothing petty fascist tendencies will serve them well as they leave the university to begin their careers (no doubt working behind the counter in a more tolerant and enlightened fast-food-prep gig)...
That’s pretty easy actually.
Their values are anything that are anti-Christian and anti-Christ. Gee where have I seen that before...
The “gay agenda” is nothing more than the seeking to criminalize Christianity.
This is why you hear narry a peep from the homos about Islam.
They’re on the same side.
Another example of Christian-phobia by “big socialist education” who hates and rejects God.
Homosexual values are equivalent to my high school graduating class’s motto: “If it feels good, do it!” It is a mindset that transcends homosexuality or heterosexuality to include any moral choice.
Does Chick-Fil-A put up those billboards with the cows and the crude lettering “EET MOR CHIKIN”?
If that’s them, I’m going to buy a Chick-Fil-A sandwich at least weekly, and then I’ll send the receipts to Rachel Madcow.
Christian and closed on Sundays? Starting to like CFA even more.
If you re-read their response, they didn't really take a stand. They disclaimed taking a stance, which really disappointed me. I've read other blogs on this issue, and the homo-Nazis are ecstatic by the backing off that Chick-Fil-A is doing. It reveals how much influence and bullying power the Gaystapo has.
Yep, I’m really annoyed by the Gaystapo. Anyone who stands up to them gets a commendation from me.
I know "universities" are often islands of loony leftism in even a sea of conservatism, but you'd think the midwest would be a little more tolerant of family values.
