Elon has become like a little kid sister taking up bad habits trying to be like the big kids, they’re quite the bunch of strivers and have never met a goofy academic fad that they didn’t dive into with abandon. See, they’re a big university now. Woohoo. Silliness.
Three decades ago, they were a small pro-Christian college. Abandoned their mascot for a meaningless legendary bird that has nothing to do with the institution. Went on a building spree like all the state run universities. Me too, me too!
They’re going to find that older alums, the ones who actually have money to donate, won’t like this. They graduated as Fighting Christians.
Let’s see here, government interfering with private business over policy issues................hmmmmmmmmm
They are 16 trillion in debt. They better get their ass to work.
Haters
It’s their right to do this. Doesn’t make them right to do this.
I don't think these idiots understand how this all works...
How Marxist of them, these little skulls full of mush.
Stupid sheep, our young people with skulls full of mush.
The intolerance and hypocrisy is just amazing isn’t it?
Write down the names of the students and then follow their careers. This can be used against them and anyone who hires them, if they don’t fire them upon learning about this history.
It would be interesting to see where in the workforce garbage like these students end up.
God created them Adam and Eve; not Adam and Steve.
Eve & Adam; not Eve & Sandra Fluck. - I also believe God ordained marriage; up until now, that was my right.
Now, it appears, no one has any rights at all excepting these communist yahoos.
Hey everyone, I’m a conservative senior economics major at Elon University and wanted to let you all know what really happened.
The student government (SGA) decided to hold an open forum on the supposed issue of Chickfila on campus because SPECTRUM (an LGBTQ organization) has the opinion that Chickfila should be banned from campus because of Chickfila donating to supposed ‘anti-gay’ organizations.
This open forum was held the day before fall break started during midterms week and on the same night as the VP debate, thus eliminating the possibilities of most business school students or many other students who are conservative to attend due to our midterms or our wanting to watch the VP debate. The open forum wasn’t advertised that much and mostly all of SPECTRUM showed up to the open forum. For three straight hours many of their members gave emotional stories to support their opinion, which is ridiculous. There were some people there trying to show the common sense to everyone else there that Chickfila and Dan Cathy specifically is entitled to its own rights. Seeing all the SPECTRUM people there, most of the senators probably felt like they had no other choice but to vote for it.
For the first time I am ashamed of my university because of this decision. I don’t understand how the people who want everyone else to be tolerant of their sexual orientation can’t be tolerant of other people’s religious beliefs. Most of the campus has the same view I do, in the fact that Chickfila should stay and that this decision basically throws the first amendment out the window. The next step is in the president of SGA’s hands, who I personally know. He is a big conservative and has the power of vetoing the motion to suggest to the administration to ban Chickfila. If he doesn’t veto, the administration will debate over the issue and come to a final decision.
Any and all advice is welcome because I don’t want my university to be in the spotlight for this and I don’t want to be graduating from a university who supports this kind of ludicrous liberal movement.
I am just floored. I mean, I know they are stupid punks whose mommies and daddies paid their way- Elon is a PRIVATE school - approx $30,000 in tuition per yr- but still. No one is allowed to have an opinion?
May they live in interesting times. And reap what they sow.
As a resident of NC, I can tell you that Elon is a charming little pissant liberal arts college (read: “uber-liberal”) that charges outrageous tuition for questionable “education”.
Gee golly, folks......Chik-fil-A’s really gonna miss ‘em...cough...cough....snort......
So the students voted 35-11 in favor of socialist sodomites. Whoever the 11 are, they better not drop the soap in that bathhouse...
Hate coming from a College campus?? Who knew.........
Anyone want to take a guess as to the Elon mascot?
The Fighting Christians
Yes, I’m dead serious.
How bigoted. All they had to do was just eat somewhere else. Add Elon to the list of colleges where we will not send our children.
I'll bet both of their graduates can sleep easier now.
Another formerly Christian college gone to the Marxist dogs.
