Yeshiva University Halts All Student Clubs to Block L.G.B.T.Q. Group

Yea, Ben Shapiro has been whining about this, says it would be equivalent to him going into a gay bar and starting to quote Leviticus, which is a pretty funny image when you think about it

 

It's hard to decide whether the woke playbook comes from Karl Marx or the Borg. You simply cannot accept that not everyone wants to live and believe as you demand.

 

This is about discrimination, not acceptance.

 

What part about this is woke?

 

Nobody is asking for their endorsement or transition, merely acceptance. Religions of all faiths talk about acceptance. Few, if any, truly practice it. They want to have the same rights as the other student groups. Not new rights or greater rights, just the same

 

This is one of those issues that I think is a closer call. On one hand, we should be able to bar discrimination. On the other hand, we have to be mindful that we're not violating anybody's free speech or free exercise rights in doing so. I need to know more about the facts and what the LGBTQ group is asking for.

 

Adherence to the values of every religion is too much to ask of some folks.

 

Yeshiva is a private school. They should be free to discriminate however they want to, kinda like, you know, Big Tech does. The left wants and gets it both ways because of a liberal court decision, and when Yeshiva takes the only action left to them to act in accordance with their beliefs, liberals still cry foul.

 

Yeshiva receives federal funding. Also, I'm probably afraid to ask how you think big tech discriminates. Because if you tell me they kick off conservatives that violate their terms of service, I'm gonna laugh.

 

My opinion is if they don’t take any federal money including student financial aid they can do any stupid backward thing they want.

 

Are you sure you're up to it?

 

Private religious school.

 

So, Notre Dame should be able to discriminate against women?
What's the difference between discriminating against gays and discriminating against women? Discrimination is discrimination.

 

The irony of this is just great!

 

LGBTQ: “gay”

most people: “what ?”

LGBTQ: “We said GAY!”

most people: “What are talking about ?”

LGBTQ: “Just as we thought! You f***ing HOMOPHOBE!!!”

 

That accepts federal funding

This is a great listen. Peter Beinart flagged it. It's obviously specific to this controversy but also deals with the way Faith traditions in general deal with the issue and similar issues of societal evolution. Not surprising that arguably the world's most serious faith tradition in terms of wrestling with moral issues has a really thoughtful piece about it.
