TRINITY COLLEGE HITS A NEW LOW: This week, after Trinity’s student government rejected the student Churchill Club because of its focus on Western civilization, allegedly sinister conservative “rhetoric,” etc., administrators recognized the club so it could at least reserve space, even if it would still not be treated equally in terms of funding. Today, the student government went ballistic over the issue, launching a Change.org petition (nearly 700 signatures so far!) demanding that its power to engage in malicious and discriminatory censorship be respected. It even scheduled an actual, physical protest against the ability of students to disagree with the campus political orthodoxy.
FIRE has launched an email campaign aimed at stiffening the spine of Trinity administrators in the face of these nauseating demands for censorship. Please feel free to let Trinity’s president know your opinion – and if you know any Trinity alums, please pass it on!
