Clash over condoms, gay sex and abortion unfolds at Jesuit university in Connecticut
It all started in October with rows of crosses. Pink ones. Nearly 1,000 of them.
They were neatly spread along a lawn at Fairfield University – a Jesuit-Catholic liberal arts college in Connecticut. The crosses stood as a representation of the 915 or so abortions that take place daily inside Planned Parenthood’s clinics nationwide.
The display was put up by Fairfield University’s Students for Life, and aimed to encourage “students on our campus to turn away from Planned Parenthood’s exploitation and to turn towards life-affirming resources,” according to the club’s Facebook page.
One might think that such a display would be innocuous at a campus that touts itself as a “Catholic university in mission and spirit.”
But it was all too much for some students, who accused their pro-life peers of putting up an offensive and insensitive pink “graveyard.” Critics included co-president of the campus’ College Democrats, who told the Fairfield Mirror student newspaper that she and others felt the display was “classist, racist and homophobic.” Comments about the October pro-life exhibit on the school newspaper’s website called it “a cheap and offensive attempt at shock value.” Said another: “You and your peers created a hostile environment for students here.”
A third chimed in that the display “had no consideration for the perspectives of the student body and the goal to have an inviting and strong sense of community as our campus atmosphere.”

“classist, racist and homophobic.”
Are Democrats really that stupid?
“Are Democrats really that stupid?”

A. Crap in the woods?
B. Eat in the woods?
C. Sleep in the woods?
D. all of the above?
Right is wrong. Wrong is right. Catholic Democrats are allowed to take Holy Communion. Male Christian pastors take husbands.
Lead others to the real Christ, the more, the better. If this is the end, they will be safe. If this is not the end, enough saved may get our country saved.
Be instrumental to revival.
Yes.
“had no consideration for the perspectives of the student body and the goal to have an inviting and strong sense of community as our campus atmosphere.”
Leftists have posted such to me on another site then next thing you know I was banned while they weren’t after posting images comparing Conservatives to the taliban.
Just love how inclusive and inviting does not apply to Conservatives!///s
Killing babies for a living is pretty insensitive.
Wait a second. A Jesuit college newspaper is dominated by baby-killers? Is this the Twilight Zone?
“classist, racist and homophobic.”
literally throwing everything they can think of at the wall, regardless of how irrelevant.
LIBERALS ARE FREAKS! It’s a freak show whenever the libs are around.
Amazing how the simple truth makes liberals act like rabid animals. It must do terrible things to their buried, locked-up, stuffed in a box and smothered consciences. It makes them act like Linda Blair in “The Exorcist”. The simplest item - a pink cross for a dead baby - and they are enraged demoniacs. Wow!
You have the right to say anything you want just as long as you agree with me..... classless morons promoting censorship of all who have a different opinion. When you kill a baby others will probably have something to say about it.
A silly, stupid moonbat college gal at Fairfield University got offended.
Who cares? When this loser ventures out into the real world someday, reality will bite her in the a$$.
The children of Satan are always offended by truth.
So be it.
Come Lord Jesus.
“A third chimed in that the display “had no consideration for the perspectives of the student body and the goal to have an inviting and strong sense of community as our campus atmosphere.””
They’d have a “strong sense of community” if they just shut up and allowed other people’s opinions, but NO they have to create division among the students.
NOT IF SOME NRA GUN FREAK KILLED IT AND MADE IT A RUG!!!

Judging by the constant blow back on this site. I can see why Catholics wish to dis-identify with being Catholic. After all who wants to be looked down upon?
I also know a lot of Catholics who lie about their beliefs to people such as the media and the elites so that they will be thought upon more favorably. They are cowards, but they do it. But I say to self hating Catholics, WAKE UP! Get over it. Who cares if the Non-Catholics do not approve of you? Knock it off and stand up for what you believe.
