Students at Seattle Pacific University protest their school's anti-LGBTQ+ president by handing him

[Celerity]

Pride flags at graduation. I love every second of this.

"Students graduating from Seattle Pacific University (SPU) were seen giving the president of the school LGBT pride flags as part of a protest against the school's ban on allowing full-time staff to be in same-sex relationships."

1. Wait. What?

Is this a religious school?

If not, how can that be enforced?

2. It would be more effective

if they had taken their money and went elsewhere.

6. you're not wrong, but...

...that's easier said than done for many students.

Credits don't always transfer, and it's not always easy to recreate the curriculum planned between a student and their advisor at another institution.

I work at a university. From what I've seen, students transferring from other 4-year institutions take an extra one or two semesters to graduate, mostly because they have to re-take some classes because of transfer problems. (This can also be true of transfers from 2-year colleges, depending on the 2-year college and whether the student planned for an upcoming transfer carefully.)

My comment is based on the presumption that the anti-LGBTQ president in this case was either hired after the graduates started school or had not yet revealed any particular bigotry until recently.

7. Just think abiut the quality of indoctrination, ooops, education, they

received.

I remember, as a senior in high school over 50 years ago, helping a classmate filling out a college admission application. Then we got to the part about demanding her menstrual and sexual history. I was horrified, and told her that she was out of her mind to even think of going to such an awful place. I did manage to talk her out of applying to that misogynist propaganda hole.
