“Show their faith a little bit of the respect they’d never show to someone else’s.”
Poor strategy. Giving unearned respect only generates disrespect for the giver. Case-in-point is the disrespect Islamofascists show our culture and tradition of civil rights by demanding segregation. Harvard’s sell out will only embolden the fanatics.
We should be politely explaining to these religious nuts that we do things differently here in America, not turn back the clock out of misguided “respect”.
If these Islamofascists want segregation they should go back to Saudi Arabia instead of being granted the power to send the rest of us to the back of the bus (or have us kicked off the bus completely).
In the meantime can’t we get public funding to Harvard cut off? That’s the classic response to private universities that practice segregation, isn’t it?
Why not just give them the footbaths? That’s a way we can show respect without disrespecting our own values in the process.
“Segregation now, segregation forever,” isn’t “respect” — it’s the reintroduction of a vileness we were supposed to have put behind us. And so we did until the Muslims started blowing things up and making demands. Now some of us are ready to dance the old Jim Crow. Disgusting.
