College Republicans kicked to the curb at UNCG


iconWhen I attended college, I never really thought much about politics. I was a bit more concerned about trying to earn enough beer money to get me through the weekend. But at UNC Greensboro, the College Republicans are facing widespread bigotry and intolerance from university officials. Mike Adams gives us the scoop:

While talking to the officers, I learned that UNCG is presenting its annual Gay Pride Week in March. Among the many highlights of this special week are a "drag queen day" and a "gay prom." The university directly funds some of these events. Others are funded by private sources after employees paid by the university have initiated them using various university resources. None are completely free from taxpayer expense.

In response, the CRs recently tried to organize a Morals Week to coincide with Gay Pride Week. When they tried to get equal funding and support, the university turned them down saying that they wouldn't fund anything having to do with "morals."

We had our share of liberals, but I don't remember too many of these events funded by VPI. Maybe we were out shooting that weekend.

Not only would the university not fund any conservative events, but the mistreatment of the CRs gets worse.

To add insult to injury, the CRs were removed from a room that they had reserved for my speech only minutes before the speech began. We were all ushered into a smaller room cluttered with tables that made it difficult for the audience to listen to my speech. This was the fourth consecutive week that the CRs were bumped out of a room they had specifically reserved.
That's right. UNCG not only refuses to fund the CR events, but when the students find the funding themselves, the college does everything they can to shut them down any way.

When I was in Blacksburg I belonged to both the C Repubs and the C Dems. I went to the CR meetings because they actually talked about interesting things. I went to CD meetings because it is easier to get into dumb chicks' pants.
