A group of New York University (NYU) students are circulating a petition which accuses Chick-fil-A owners of “human rights violations” over their financial support for non-profit pro-family influence groups.
The document, which so far has attracted just over 15,000 of 20,000 hoped for signatures, also calls for administrators to use a loophole in school rules to expel the popular chicken sandwich store campus.
“NYU prides itself on being a diverse, open and inclusive campus community”, reads the petition, posted in March by student Hilary Dworkoski. “[M]aintaining a contract with an anti-gay vendor like Chick-fil-A undermines what makes this university so great.”
View the petition “New York University: Stop serving anti-gay Chick-fil-A on campus.”
In particular, Dworkoski accused Chick-fil-A of harboring an “agenda against anyone," and complains that its owners donated at least $2 million to 2009 to support “anti-gay” groups including mainstream evangelical groups Focus On The Family and the Family Research Council.

Sorry, I used “actually” twice.
Unfortunately NYU isn't much different than universities located elsewhere around the U.S. They all seem dedicated to the same PC indoctrination methods. What continues to amaze me is that conservative parents still fork out huge annual sums to have their kids brainwashed at these "schools." Somehow "the folks" still haven't figured out what's happening.
You can’t choose your family but you can choose FR, and did!
Good timing! (See my post, just above yours.)
(Pinging you to post #36 also!!)
So glad the only reason I’ve ever thought about NYU was for theoretical physics taught by Michio Kaku. Other than that, may they lose millions.
Yep. And how many of them actually read the interview? probably ZERO. How many think Mr. Cathy does things he has not done such as refusing to hire or serve those who call themselves homosexual or lesbian — probably 100% because they are reading the radical gay activists who believe that if you don’t shed your own beliefs for theirs, you dare not exist.
Personal Thoughts and religious beliefs are now forbidden if not politically correct.
It’s probably just a crazy coincidence that the actual Nazis were also heavily penetrated by gays.
I can’t figure out a better way of writing that so I am going to stop.

This whole thing is ridiculous.
It’s sad that gay supporters cannot respect the views of others when they expect everyone else to respect their views.
Mr. Cathy and Chickfila do not say they are ‘anti-gay’ as the media insists.
They simply support traditional values.
Dan Cathy was giving an honest answer to a question that he was asked about his personal beliefs; that Chick-fil-A supports traditional marriage.
He further stated that they treat every person with honor, dignity and respect – regardless of their belief, race, creed, sexual orientation or gender-
and stated that their intent is to leave the policy debate over same-sex marriage to the government and political arena.
This Company has the same right to BE AGAINST gay marriage, as those who SUPPORT IT. The First Amendment of the Constitution overrides what gay marriage supporters may think or believe.
Those who champion the gay cause are just using this as a way to advance their agenda.
I have the utmost respect for someone who has the character to stand up for what he believes in and still treats EVERYONE with respect, which is what Chickfila does.
.
Why would ANY heterosexual male protest in defense of faggots? Why all the fuss over 3% of the population? Oh, that’s right.. It all comes down from the top with our gay, Marxist, Muslim illegal alien President!
Wow.
You can't make this stuff up.
If so, there should be no problem backing off from bugging Chik fil A
But the thinking public knows that
“NYU prides itself on being a diverse, open and inclusive campus community”
as long as said person, entity, etc. agrees with the liberal point of view on the subject.
In particular, Dworkoski accused Chick-fil-A of harboring an agenda against anyone....
What a buncha maroons....I guess they don't see their own hypocrisy in that the students themselves are not tolerating Christian values and now have an agenda against someone by these actions.
Friggin idiots......
That video cracks me up, especially when he finishes his statement by picking up and drinking from a Chick-Fil-A cup!
Those who preach tolerance the most, practice it the LEAST.
“Gays are acting just like Nazis trying to persecute the Jews. Exactly the same mindset and process.”
Totally agree. Wait until the NYU brownshirts come out and smash the windows of Chick Fil-A in the 2012 version of Kristallnacht. Make no mistake, what these nazis are seeking is the criminalization of Christianity in this country, nothing less.
WTH is an “agenda against anyone”? LOL!
