Kansas Professors Demand University Remove 'Bastion Of Bigotry' Chick-Fil-A From Campus

School is back in session folks, and the latest leftist lesson this semester is that if you enjoy a tasty, mouthwatering juicy chicken sandwich from Chick-Fil-A then you're a bigot. In fact, some professors at the University of Kansas feel so strongly that the Christian company is a hatemongering behemoth of evil, that they are demanding their school boycott and remove the sandwich chain from their campus.

The Kansas City Star reports that Chick-Fil-A previously had a spot tucked away in the basement of an obscure building on campus. But, after a new contract, the eatery was moved to a new and improved location. The business was also given a new sponsorship via "Chick-Fil-A coin flip" before every home football game the next three years.

KU’s Sexuality & Gender Diversity Faculty and Staff Council sent a letter to Chancellor Doug Girod this week, saying "KU granted Chick-fil-A, a bastion of bigotry, a prime retail location in the heart of our campus."

"Moving Chick-fil-A to the Union and granting it a role at the start of all home football games violates the feelings of safety and inclusion that so many of us have striven to create, foster, and protect on campus, and sends a message that the Union, KU Athletics, and the administration at large are more concerned about money and corporate sponsorship than the physical, emotional, and mental well being of marginalized and LGBTQ people," the professors added.

"The culture of Chick-fil-A fosters hate and discrimination on multiple levels. In short, Chick-fil-A on KU’s campus stands in direct contrast to the university’s mission of fostering a multicultural, inclusive environment," they declared.

The founder of Chick-Fil-A, Truett Cathy, was a devout Christian who believed in traditional marriage. Every employee is trained in line with Christian teaching.

The alleged culture of hate the professors accuse the sandwich chain of creating includes employees who change customer's tires in the drive-thru lane, feed disabled customers, and always say "My pleasure" when a patron says "Thank you."

We had better reform our nation’s education systems before it’s too late. Hopefully Trump will pull this band-aid the first few months of his 2nd term so as to not frighten the soccer moms.

Here’s an aspect of things I never understand.

The Liberals and leftists and gay activists, targeted Chick Fil A because the owner of the company opposed homosexual marriage.

Fast forward a few years, and the Supreme Court imposes homosexual marriage on America. The liberals won on that issue.

Since they won, why are they still after Chick Fil A? Why aren’t they magnanimous in their hard won victory on marriage? What about the liberal mantra that love trumps hate? What about the teachings of Rev. Martin Luther King ,that we should not seek vengeance or revenge ??

Or is liberal icon Martin Luther King no longer an icon?

The radicalized leftist claim that the restaurant “violates the feelings of safety and inclusion that so many of us have striven to create, foster, and protect on campus.”

In fact, the feelings of safety and inclusion extends only to members of the radicalized left. The restaurant, conservative students, and the religious are intended by the radicalized left’s policies to feel excluded and unsafe.

My neighborhood Chick-fil-a has a very diverse work crew. They hire a lot of Hispanics and the entire crew is pleasant and polite.

A lot more diverse than the spoiled white kids screaming about bigotry.

Aren’t these professors trying to deny Chick-Fil-A their freedom of religion?

Imagine you have a child and he attends the University of Kansas and he comes home and tells you that he is majoring in the phony school of Sexuality & Gender Diversity. And then he tells you tuition cost is 10 thousand a semester. Would you drop a dime on him?

They should be dragged out of the faculty lounge by their grey ponytails and euthanized.

Chick-Fil-A follows federal hiring guidelines. It does not discriminate in the hiring process and employs LBGT workers.

As a private family held company, it chooses to donate to pro-life and pro-traditional Christian charities and non-profits. That’s well within their right and is anything but bigoted. It’s private gifting of private money.
