University Students: Chick-fil-A Makes Us Feel Unsafe
The Federalist ^ | 13 Apr, 2017 | Bre Payton

Chick-fil-A is coming to the food court at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, but some students are not happy about it. Several students at the Catholic university have complained the fried chicken restaurant, which has the reputation of being extremely kind and generous to customers, will make them feel unsafe, Red Alert Politics reports.

“Chick-fil-A has a questionable history on civil rights and human rights,” student senator Niko Martini told campus newspaper The Duke. “I think it’s imperative the university chooses to do business with organizations that coincide with the [university’s] mission and expectations they give students regarding diversity and inclusion.”

The chicken restaurant, which closes on Sundays to allow employees to attend church, is very supportive of pro-family and Christian organizations, which make the students’ objections at the Catholic institution a head-scratcher.

Chick-fil-A routinely goes out of its way to be kind to customers and neighbors in need. In the wake of the 2016 shooting at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Chick-fil-A offered free food at blood drives where locals donated blood for the victims recovering in nearby hospitals.

It’s not easy. His university is fairly conservative and there’s still libtard courses he has to suffer through.

I bet he has to keep mouth firmly shut to be able to pass the course. Pretty disgusting to realize this when he is a paying customer.

He spoke up once. Hopefully he keeps his mouth shut so he can make honors. Eff this system. He goes to Franklin Pierce University. There’s no safe space bullshit there. But there are select idiot teachers.

I’ve found that Chick-Fil-A staff are clean, kind, courteous, quickly correct anything wrong with an order, and come in all sizes, shapes, colors, nationalities.

Plus their chicken strips are the best around.

No wonder the leftist diaper-wearing leftist snowflakes of Duquesne Un. are having a mental turd attack. Or as a Navy veteran friend of mine would say, “Shit for Brains”.

If we were honest we would all say we are unsafe WITHOUT GOD. The talk I see here leans perilously, if not falls, into a self-reliance motif.

Now, Chick-Fil-A has been known for great benevolence and I could hardly point them out as trouble makers.

However, there has been a trend for nominal Christians to nonetheless try to dictate how the world lives. Whatever that practice is, it isn’t Christianity. The world is sinners. That is true by definition.

We need to look at the underlying assumptions in the picture.

The “state church” motif has been with us for centuries, nay far more than a millennium.

A popular faith, or at the very least a near universal respect of it, is needed to bring the mores of a land up to it.

Without that, we might as well press a shark to sing opera on land. It couldn’t do so. The very attempt would be cruel.

I don’t know what Chick-Fil-A promotes the most. But if it were Christian, that ought to be evangelism before politics. Show people a reason to believe on Christ, even if their conduct isn’t so-so perfect at this point. And Chick-Fil-A has not been very politically active. The most notable thing was the statement that marriage ought to be heterosexual. Actually, it ought to be biblical all way around. And a loving fear of Christ is the only thing that will make it possible. We need to differentiate culture from faith. Christianized isn’t the same as Christian.

Yeah, maybe Chic Fil A can provide some really small tables and chairs for these delicate little wall flowers complete with cans of Play Doh to squeeze to go along with those coloring books and crayons. Can’t have anything sharper or harder than a crayon so they don’t hurt themselves.

Better yet; just kick these snowflakes to the curb and let them clean toilets for a living for the rest of their idiotic lives. Poetic justice served.

These “students” need to go back to their parent’s basement because they are clearly too immature to function in the world.

Well.... it is junk food. Perhaps another junk food style restaurant is what they need. Or perhaps a fattening food junk shoppette would be more to their munchie state of mind. A pho bar? A real NY Deli?

Keep in mind: If they are fed Ultra High cholesterol they will leave us sooner.

Or, (the ultimate slap in the face) close everything down except the cafeteria.

Most college campuses are the last place you should send your kids to.
They have become Unversities (not a typo)
They believe in Dieversity (not a typo)
