Good response by the college. That’s a darn good school. I dated the daughter of a professor there, and he was one of the most fascinating men I have met. Grove City College seemed to be one of the bastions against the decay of society in general.

Sounds like Jeff Sessions will not have a problem with him if nominated to the USSC.

At first I thought the college was engaging in an over-the-top prosecution.

However, now that I see the college’s policy on sex, I take their side.

The homosexual radicals have infiltrated the Catholic Church and subsequently undermined its reputation because (one reason) the Church turned a blind eye to homosexual activity within its ranks.

No institution should allow it to be undermined by leftists like this. I stand by this college.

Grove City is smart enough to refuse Fed money.

Let me see if I understand this:

1. The school has a policy, which he was aware of, stating no premarital sex because it is a Christian College.

2. This young man violated said policy, publicly, by starring in gay porn and it was discovered by the students and administration, who were then notified

3. The promised disciplinary action was instituted

Well, this will have predictable results. The ACLU will jump all over it, the policy will be found unconstitutional, he will win millions, and another private school with Christian values will be discriminated against for having a value as part of their policy.

Sir, you could have gotten a job stocking shelves, or gone to a college that shared YOUR views, but you didn’t. You chose to go to a christian college with a pre marital sex (hetero or homo) ban and then engaged in homosexual sex to pay your tuition to the school? Shame on you. Sounds like this was planned for precisely this kind of gay rights issue fight it will become, and seen as a chance to make a large settlement for the one who broke the rules.

I met a fella on a movie set once who asked me if I wanted to see a Gabe Horn movie. I'd never head of any actors named Gabe Horn so I decided to go with him. Now, the title of the movie was Rough'n Ready, I figured it was a Western with cows and horses and such.

It must have been a short budget film 'cause the actors were all wearing chaps ~with no pants~ and riding each other instead of horses. I didn't see hide-nor-hair of any acting ability but I did see plenty of hide and plenty of hair.

Never did figure out which one of them fellas was Gabe Horn either........"

Good for Grove City College! Their high standards are a benefit to every young man and women who attends their school.

“I absolutely believe the college (has) violated my rights,” Gechter said. “They (suspended) me based on my occupation. I was not doing anything illegal.”

He invokes a familiar refrain here: If it's not illegal, it's not wrong. Evidently he didn't get much from his ethics classes at Grove City.

this smells like a setup to me....gay activists deliberately targeting Grove City because it is independent and Christian.

So it's the other student's fault because he was viewing inappropriate material. Making the film wasn't inappropriate?

I may need a map to follow his point.

From the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette:

When he broke the news, his mother started "praying and fasting." His father was upset, but he said they still love him.

He has retained a lawyer and is contemplating a lawsuit against Grove City. Though he admits that some of his rule violations were fairly clear, he doesn't feel like the school is demonstrating Christian values of love and forgiveness. The whole experience, he said, has caused him to re-examine his Christian beliefs.

"I believe in God, that you are held accountable for what you do, that there are standards of right and wrong," he said.
