wins today's contest for best title ever!
Thank you, Ben Shapiro.
I know it sounds silly since music is the great unifier, but it's still startling to see a couple of orthodox Jews playing Ave Maria.
Gonzaga University’s vice president of student development, Judi Biggs Garbuio, denied the school’s College Republicans chapter’s request to bring Shapiro to campus, citing protests and safety issues, and arguing that such an event would go against Gonzaga’s mission statement.
Mr. Shapiro’s appearances routinely draw protests that include extremely divisive and hateful speech and behavior, which is offensive to many people, regardless of their age, politics or beliefs,” Biggs Garbuio said in a response to the event request submitted by Gonzaga College Republicans President Olivia Johnston and obtained by Campus Reform.
“Gonzaga University is committed to the human dignity of every individual,” the administrator continued. “This is the core of our mission based on the teachings of Christ Jesus, and the foundations of the Society of Jesus. We stand in solidarity with vulnerable members of our community who may be targeted for discrimination, ridicule, or harassment by others.” sourceJust exactly who is Gonzaga expecting to protest? Surely not the lily white "Catholic" students who populate their campus. And what exactly has Ben Shapiro ever said to go against this mythical mission statement?
They might want to think about standing in solidarity with Jewish Ben Shapiro. What about his human dignity?Since most of my readers are not Catholic, I ask only that you consider this information in view of whatever church you do attend. There has never been a doubt in my mind that certain areas of the Catholic Church, as well as most other mainstream churches, have been infiltrated with ideals espoused by Alynsky. I would go so far as to call such trends outright Marxist.Gonzaga is a private university and can ban whomever they want. I get that. But they shouldn't be hiding behind their "Christian mission" when they fail to teach the fundamentals of the Catholic faith.
