As an adherent to the teaching of the Most Holy Crow of James, I need to have my religious scruples honored, to wit, no folks of darkness may be allowed to exercise in the same room as those of us who follow the tenets of the Most Holy Crow of James.

Harvard University spokesman Robert Mitchell must realize this has to be done for those of us whose religion does not allow them to sweat or exercise in the presence of people of dark colour.

Indeed, Crowian Law requires one group of people — followers in way of the Most Holy Crow of James — have separate facilities for activities including sleeping, eating, worshiping, and exercising apart from another group of people, the unclean people of darkness.

Since we of the Crow (Most Holy of Birds)have made a request, we believe it will be found reasonable to Harvard athletics spokesman Matt Lavoie. It’s a religious issue, that’s all. Those of us who follow the Crow (MHOB) find it most unholy and intolerant that we must compromise our beliefs just so the people of darkness may corrupt our people with their filthy lives.

As director, Susan Marine, must know, it’s just not possible for Crowians to be in a mixed environment, especially where the forbidden fruit, the Melon of Water, may be consumed, and where shoes of excessive looseness may be worn. So sayith the Crow of James (MHOB).
