University Suspends Chick-Fil-A from Campus [NC college is first to do so]
Campus Reform.org ^ | Aug 13 2012 | Cameron Harris

Davidson College in North Carolina has become the first university in the nation to prevent Chick-fil-A from being served on campus.

A liberal arts college in North Carolina has become the first in the nation to prevent Chick-fil-A from being served at campus events over the restaurant's indirect support of pro-family groups perceived by some as “anti-gay.”

The student organization that controls student funds at Davidson College made the decision last week to prevent the sandwiches from being served at a series of events called “After Midnight,” when students circulated a petition expressing outrage over a Chick-fil-A’s owner’s monetary donations to groups including Focus on the Family and the Family Research Council.

Hmmm...I had a cousin named Spach who was a Presbyterian missionary in Brazil.

"After Midnight" series of events? Can't let the words of Chick-fil-A's Cathy possibly influence these students who of course know it all.
After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang down.
After midnight, we're gonna chug-a-lug and shout.
We're gonna stimulate some action;
We're gonna get some satisfaction.
We're gonna find out what it is all about.
After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang down.

After midnight, we're gonna shake your tambourine.
After midnight, it's all gonna be peaches and cream.
We're gonna cause talk and suspicion;
We're gonna give an exhibition.
We're gonna find out what it is all about.
After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang down.

After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang down.

That reminds me, Chick-fil-A's peach shakes are out of this world. :) What stoopit kids.

Yes, I see that now - Headline should have read “Davidson students won’t bring CFA food to events” instead of the bravado of their headline and pic caption.
(admit I had not fully read when I posted :-( my bad.)

Is there a Chick-Fila around the college? I wonder how often Chick-Fil-a was served during these “Midnight” things; I would bet very little if any....

Good for you!
Recently, William and Mary, up the road from me, took the cross out of the chapel to not “offend”. The outrage , especially from alums, was instantaneous with the with holding of money being most effective.
The idiot, lib president (ex-law school prof) was shut down and eventually moved on to another school.
It works...hope it works for this school.

Yes, these kids have delusions of grandeur about their power : They are a mere drop in the bucket to CFA.

Naps...don’t forget the most recent NC vote that overwhelmingly endorsed traditional marriage. This will not go down well in NC and I don’t think we’ll hear the end of this...
NC is turning back to red....

If my kid went to one of these schools, I’d pull their butt out in a heartbeat. If they protested, I’d tell them it was time they paid their own way through college.

This is ONE area where I would not pull any punches with my kids.

Until today, I never thought of Davidson people as bigots.

Davidson? No surprise there.

It’s about as liberal as it gets.

I watched a DVR-d copy of the "Rise of the Third Reich" over the weekend. Before they started collecting them up in concentration camps, the Nazis organized boycotts of Jewish businesses, forbidding any true-blooded German from engaging in business with Jews.

The left would scream, "you're crazy!" if that was brought up to them.

That’s about it: If Davidson college does not buy 20 chicken sandwiches for its After Midnight event, does CFA headquarters hear the sound of profits falling? ;-)

Yes, they have become the very thing they accused the right of being (recall their accusations of W Bush). But they never hold the mirror up to themselves.

College organization redoubles efforts to remove Chik-fil-A from campuses

WOW! Redoubled! - They are really energetic promoters of homosexuals!

How do you calculate that?

When it's doubled that is twice the original.

Then if you redouble, do you add one more double (four times original)?
Or do you double the double (eight times the original)?

Without Helms there to roll back the riff-raff, anything can and will happen now in NC.
