This country is going mad....

[johniegrad]

Tough class to pick up chicks.

[muawiyah]

Everyone in this country should have this privilege. There's really no good reason to distract young men by placing women in their classrooms.

[Corin Stormhands]

Why?

There's no state money involved. Tech gets paid for giving the customer what they want.

[AdamSelene235]

There's no state money involved.

The building are publicly owned.

[Corin Stormhands]

Buildings that are sitting empty all summer long.

It's not clear, but I would assume that Tech also makes a profit from this.

Again, I don't see the problem here.

[AdamSelene235]

Buildings that are sitting empty all summer long.

Building errected with public funds being used to pander to the bigotry of people who are trying to kill us.

[Will_Zurmacht]

i wonder if they'll accomodate the inbred Klansmen who prefer racially segregated classes....

what?

explain to me the difference...

[iconoclast]

"This is the way they teach their courses over there, and this is the way they wish their courses to be taught over here," said Tech spokesman Larry Hincker.

Couldn't tell 'em to go piss up a rope?

Another "follow the money" situation.

[Corin Stormhands]

whatever

[NeoCaveman]

Whatever happened to Brown v. Topeka?

[randog]

Didn't Bob Jones U have a similar setup and got pummeled for it?

[WideGlide]

Again, I don't see the problem here.

We'll educate your teachers if you will please keep selling us your oil Mr. Sheik Ratlun Rhol. And we'll keep ignoring the fact that you use our oil dollars to crash jetliners, knock down tall buildings, and fund the Al Queda murderers.

[Rummyfan]

I really don't care about the separation. The point is they shouldn't even be here!

[opbuzz]

And this has nothing to do with the "separation of church and state"?

[denydenydeny]

For the last forty years, the image of George Wallace standing in a university door saying "segregation now, segregation forever" was presented as the ultimate incarnation of evil.

And you know what? If it was evil then, it's evil now.

Modern culture abominates Plessy vs. Ferguson and "separate but equal" as an atrocity on our law.

And it was an atrocity then, it's an atrocity now.

[rwa265]

"Again, I don't see the problem here."

The one problem I see is they are not required to observe our laws whereas when we saved their butts from Saddam in 1990, we were required to observe their laws.

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

Mr. Sheik Ratlun Rhol.

LOL!

"I said Sheik Ratlun Roll,
Sheik Ratlun Roll,
You'll never do nuthin' to save your doggone soul."

[No Longer Free State]

While the buildings are certainly under a reduced workload in the summer, they sure aren't empty. Take it from one who has a couple of summer semesters there under his belt...
