TownHall has a fire-breathing column on the Patriot's article on bathroom Glory Holes vis a vis the Queer Alliance. It's mostly a rehash of the Patriot's article. Strike that, it's entirely a rehash, except for a bit at the end where the Patriot's less then enthusiastic reception is recorded.
Anyone who challenges this behavior is, naturally, labeled an intolerant homosexual-basher. The California Patriot was the target of an anonymous satirical "hit piece" snidely accusing the lead reporter on the bathroom story of being gay. Student Justin Wong of the "Queer Council" complained that the article was the result of a "witch hunt." And one news editor was told by a Berkeley administration official that Norman and Rudmann's article was "homophobic."The article also claims that the Administration is doing nothing, where in reality it's well-known even on the message board that UC Police are actively searching for and plugging Glory Holes, even using the message board for tips. I'm not totally sure what else the Administration can do, since the ASUC provides most of the funding and space for QA. Trying to step in would be probably counterproductive, as the ASUC jealously guards its remaining territory from the Administration. But the best part is the end, where Ms. Malkin claims we will be purified by the fire of god. A deviant practice common at filthy truck stops has infected the hallowed ivory tower, and all the campus Left can do is blame the messenger and play the victim card? Welcome to Sodom and Gomorrah University: " . . . and, lo, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace." -- Genesis 19:28Email This Post! |
