Letter to the Editor

In a letter dated April 8, Randall L. Wenger writes on behalf of three students to IUP President Tony Atwater, demanding that IUP change their non-discrimination policy such that religiously-backed comments about sexuality and gender are no longer regulated against.

Currently it is against the rules to point at a person suspected of homosexuality and tell them they are going to burn in hell because they are an abomination.

This makes sense to me, because I don’t like mean jerks.

Chris Minich and Joshua Hughes (both members of SGA, somehow) appear to disagree with me, and they along with a third student, Elizabeth Davis, have lent their names to the letter from Mr. Wenger.

I call for their immediate resignation or formal removal from SGA. If they are in the habit of suing the school to remove language which protects sexual and gender minorities from harassment, how could they possibly be understood to serve their interests?

IUP has gay people in attendance, FYI, and they need support, not damnation.

Of course it's wrong, but it is free speach.
