Vermont: An Orgy of Righteousness in Response to Some Stupid Graffiti

Do they really think the offenders in the matter are going to attend all these self-congratulatory meetings?

"In response to homophobic graffiti found in the hallways of Ross Commons over Spring Break, President of the College Ronald D. Liebowitz sent a campus-wide e-mail over the break condemning the acts. Students and administrators met last Tuesday to discuss the incidents, and a student town hall meeting has been called for tonight....

In a letter sent out to Ross residents on March 22, Ross Commons Heads Steve and Katy Abbott described the impact of the graffiti found in the stairwells of Hadley Hall, and the importance of addressing the issue....

In response, the Commons heads proposed an open gathering on April 3 in the Ross Fireplace Lounge to discuss the issue. As students, faculty and staff became more involved with planning the meeting, the initially Ross-based gathering grew into a much larger forum. A Middlebury Open Queer Alliance (MOQA) campaign distributed posters in the dining halls days prior to Tuesday's meeting.

There are offensive graffiti all over the place -- which are almost always either ignored or just scrubbed off -- but graffiti directed at certain especially important people must be made a big deal of. It just makes you warm inside to be so "caring".

I am sure all this homophilia will do nothing to cure "homophobia". More likely the reverse. It will just make homosexuals resented for all the special attention that is given to them. But that will be fine with Leftists, of course. They really don't give a damn about helping homosexuals. It is bothering ordinary people about it that is their real aim.
