In reply to the discussion: Fordham College Republicans disinvite Ann Coulter, apologize for inviting her in the first place [View all]BeHereNow
(17,162 posts)82. I call BS too Lebham in LA- they got caught, that is all.
And I would wager that Father McShane is a powerful figure in their academic
setting. (On edit: He is the president of the school )
They wrote their "apology" to APPEAR remorseful for their actions
simply as a last minute dodge of the criticism they deserved and
to try to salvage their standing on the campus and academic peers.
Father McShane will be getting an email from me congratulating him
on the way he handled the situation.
It is likely his letter will cost the school financially, by way of donations
from wealthy republicans, and therefore it took courage for him
to write it and make his STRONG sentiments public.
Rock on Father McShane!
May the souls of good people continue to reject and expose
the hatred of a few.

Fordham should suspend College Republicans for even THINKING about inviting Coultergeist.

It's possible. We've seen her in action for 20+ years, they are only 20 years old.

They shouldn't be questioning inviting her, they should be questioning their membership in the group

That's why the local Jesuit colleges have more respect than Dominion colleges.
