RSSLiberals Hate To Give Equal Treatment To Others Outside Their “Group”
J.J. Jackson* | April 20, 2007
Well, the Student Senate at the University of Rhode Island is working hard to punish the College Republicans from giving a scholarship to someone outside of a chosen and oppressed minority group. The scholarship for white, heterosexual American males has drawn ire from the brainwashed Sudent Senate. Why we have no real idea except for the most likely reason that they have partaken of the Kool Aid.
Student groups more and more are - indeed, usually must be - recognized by the school if they are to use the name, meet on the campus or grounds or otherwise “belong.” This often leads to guidance and/or interference, sometimes objectively warranted, sometimes not. More and more it also leads to liberal faculty interference as academe becomes - alas, has become - preponderantly liberal.
A recent example has arisen at the University of Rhode Island. The Young Republicans advertised an obviously satirical nominal scholarship for a “White, Heterosexual, American Male.” While one readily could criticize the attempted satire as at best sophomoric, at worst offensive, and in no way politically clever, it does implicate a First Amendment free-speech right.
However, the Student Senate, perhaps influenced in part by real or sublimal faculty liberalism, has chosen to demand an apology from, or, alternatively, to withdraw recognition of, the Young Republican Club. The University President, mindful of the First Amendment, has directed - thus far unsuccessfully - the Student Senate to back off. Leave aside the question of why one student organization, even though its membership be elected, should have authority over another. To what extent will the Faculty, doubtless preponderantly liberal as are most, support the President and the free-speech rights of the Young Republicans?
At least the President has his head screwed on straight. But one has to wonder why these future liberal welfare state supporters are so upset when there are scholarships available for other races and sexual orientations.
Tolerance? Equality? Come on you know the left believes in neither of these things in reality.

The URI student senate has tried to pull this kind of crap before. I linked to the news story at my blog, but long story short: when the student newspaper, this time, said something the SS (ahem - that’s student senate, not the NAZI group… I think) didn’t like, they yanked their funding!
