Dozens of lesbian activists at Smith College climbed in through windows and stormed the podium in a riot scene shortly after Ryan Sorba began a speech on his upcoming book, The Born Gay Hoax. The melee forced an end to the speech before a packed hall in the library on the Northampton campus. Uniformed police officers and a plainclothes security guard were in the room but mostly just stood and watched. Rather than take action against the rioters, the officers and a university official walked to the podium and ordered Sorba to leave the room “for his own safety.”
They are hosting a book burning later this month.
Yes, that’s a saying a mouthful.
That's puberty.
Sounds like they all deserve a good spanking.
Typical college officials. They’ve got the “balls of Obama”.
Don’t fear the university president is taking care of things. To make up for a speech that was not allowed here is her plan located at the bottom of the story.
At 8 p.m. tonight, at the Academy of Music, Smith is offering a free public screening of Freeheld, the Oscar-winning documentary by Cynthia Wade ‘89 that chronicles a lesbian couple’s struggle for legal and property rights. It stands in contrast to Mr. Sorba’s views of a “born-gay hoax” – and both perspectives, whether one finds them compelling or offensive, fall within Smith’s commitment to free expression of ideas and values.

“Sounds like they all deserve a good spanking.”
Maybe, but too many would probably enjoy it.
I believe 1/4 are evil and 3/4 of them are just stupid blind followers.

College professors who train teachers give a low priority to skills like keeping order and training politeness.- Research firm Public Agenda
50% of American college faculty identified themselves as Democrats and 11% as Republicans (33% calling Independent, 5% another party) 72% described themselves as “to the left of center, including 18% who were strongly left. Only 15% described themselves as right of center, including only 3% who were strongly right.”. - NAASS survey of students, faculty and administrators at colleges and universities in the United States and Canada, 1999 by Angus Reid (now Ipsos-Reid)
College students spend over $5.5 billion a year on alcoholic beverages (mostly beer)—more than they spend on all other drinks [soda, tea, milk, juice and coffee] and books combined. - Sidney Ribeau, President Bowling Green State University http://www.collegevalues.org/diaries.cfm?id=476&a=1.

Is the “womyn’s” field hockey team at Smith called “The Amazons”?
The universities were taken over by the totalitarians a long time ago. Now we no longer have academic freedom. The effects on our society will be toxic.
Our chances of preserving our freedom in this country are running out.

She talks like thith,
She taught me how to kith,
I love her so"
Well my oh my how times have changed.
I get the feeling that if a bunch of conservative students had done something similar to a gay activist speaker, the cops would have busted heads, if not opened fire
It’s a toss up in my book.
Even if a “gay gene” is ever found, this does not justify acting it out, any more than we can justify iniquity because we are born with a strong proclivity to sin. God gives grace (at least initially) to resist sin (Gn. 4:7), and can grant repentance, but the typical homosexual seeks to justify sin, rather than turn to Christ from it. As they know that the Bible is the ultimate authority, they go to great lengths in vainly seeking to negate the Creators wise injunctions against it. Which are for our own good. http://peacebyjesus.witnesstoday.org/homosexual_refuted.html
