If you know anything about the political atmosphere in New Haven, Connecticut, it is redolent with the stench of Progressivism, the distilled essence of which may be found eroding the ivied walls of Yale.

A true act of courage consists not of heeding the dares of a mad and sycophantic crowd but of denying them their satisfaction and rebuking them besides. I suspect the author will be made to pay for her apostasy. But for a young person, such courage as hers is rare and is to be encouraged.

Bravo.

The author, Miss Elizabeth Moore, according to the Yale website, is a Senior at Jonathan Edwards College. A Yale Residential college.

The Coat of Arms and it's meaning:

The green rearing lion symbolizes courage and purity of heart. Its crimson tongue and nails exhibit willingness to pursue its goals with passion both of speech and strength. The veil of white that surrounds the lion symbolizes the Grace of God, and the other eleven residential colleges are represented by the eleven black daggers (a later modification of the crest).

I guess she take its meaning to heart.
