If an African-American evangelical expressed the same views on gay marriage as Chick-fil-A did, I wonder how the students would have voted. Do not tell me for a second they would have voted the same.

Rider is in my neighborhood, so tomorrow's papers should be featuring this story.

First - let's toss the word "liberal" out. It's really meaningless.
I think you're really ranting against political correctness, which is pervasive on most campuses.
The people who made this decision aren't fire-eyed, bomb-throwing Bolsheviks.
They're administrators with comfortable salaries and commodious perks that they want to protect.
It wouldn't shock me to learn that some of them covertly agree with the prof.
I think they did a quick calculation and concluded that in that very blue part (adjoining Princeton) of a very blue state, they're rather annoy people like this prof than large donors who might dislike Chick-fil-A.


Regarding the Dean - more power to her for walking the walk.
With her credentials she should have no trouble finding a job in an area that's more in line with her views.
Anyone who does not go overboard- deserves to.
Malcolm Forbes, Sr.
