University bans golf team from using Trump course because of campaign rhetoric

One of the top golf programs in the country is no longer allowed to practice at the Trump Doral golf course because administrators deemed Donald Trump's campaign rhetoric to be inconsistent with Barry University's values.

Late last year, Barry University President Sister Linda Bevilacqua, in consultation with the Executive Committee of the Administration, determined that Trump's campaign rhetoric conflicts with the university's mission, triggering an automatic severing of relations with all businesses and organizations in which he holds a senior leadership position.

The intolerant left speaks again using their standard false premise of benevolence for the little people. Reality is that it is always an agenda about grabbing power for elites, and never about freedom and tolerance of independent beliefs.
