This is not a class, it is a student organization.

Okay. I still will not be sending my child to a college that allows that on campus. I thought I outlined why we need reform on campus and in America, but apparently you are to worried about me not judging Penn State.

The controversy is over the funds they receive from mandatory student fees and taxpayer dollars

There is also a controversy over the lack of standards, with respect to who does what on campus.

Again, not classes. JMJ, I don't like these people anymore than you do. I don't recognize their "right" to use my money for their causes, just as I have no right to use their money for my causes. I live my life based on moral absolutes regardless of my current surroundings, and suggest that there are plenty of people at every location who do the same. I further suggest that the people like me greatly outnumber the people described in this article. The largest organization at Penn State is the Newmans (Catholic Community).

Again, NittanyLion--then why do you not stand up if you don't like the actions of these people. Stand up and tell them their behavior is inappropriate for an educational environment where young skulls full of mush are *trying* to learn how to be adults. If the moral people far outnumber the amoral nitwits at Penn State, then why don't you guys do something about it?

You're free to judge PSU as you see fit. I suggested you may hold a mistaken perception based on what gets reported in the media. While I see nothing but coverage of homicides and fires on the local Philly news each night, I don't hold the view that the overwhelming majority of Philadelphians are murderers or arsonists. The media doesn't report the 15,000 students that attend Palm Sunday Mass each year, but insists on reporting the 50 students at these ridiculous events.

If the moral people far outnumber the amoral nitwits at Penn State, then why don't you guys do something about it?

These people are not worth my time. I would sooner invest time in efforts to better myself than waste it dealing with 50 immoral twits whose minds will never be changed.
