The Frankenstein always comes home to visit his creator. The liberals (such as these tortured individuals at Harvard) virtually invented the technique of forcing private organizations to do their bidding via the threat of withheld govt funding. I bet the sauce doesn't taste so well now, does it?

But amid all of this drivel, there is one quote that I think needs to be analyzed: "A society that discriminates on the basis of sexual orientation- OR THAT TOLERATES DISCRIMINATION BY ITS MEMBERS (emphasis mine)- is not a just society"

My totalitarian friends at Harvard obviously need a little refresher course on that little thing called "freedom". Obviously, this bozo believes that his concept of justice allows him to "not tolerate" other people's decisions about with whom they choose to associate.

And...while I'm at it...there is another outright lie in this article:

"The university does not have its own ROTC program on campus because of faculty oppostion to the military's policy on gays."

As I'm sure this dishonest reporter knows full well, most of the Ivy League schools (including Harvard, and my school, Brown) booted the ROTC programs off of their campus in the 60's...long before the gay issue was on anyone's radar screen. The REAL reason why the ROTC programs were kicked off campus--and remain off campus--is that the lefties who control the Ivy League schools detest the US military. The gay issue is a straw man that was only introduced several decades after the ban in order to cover for Harvard's distaste for the military and the uncouth people whom they assume make up most of its ranks.

The Harvard apparatchniks owe their freedom to spout insanity and inanity to people who are far braver and thoughtful and sincere and patriotic than they. They are far from where the heros lie.

Excellent.
