Gonzaga under fire over conservative speaker called anti-gay

Ever hear of the Jesuits? Hopefully, we pray, they are turning their act around.

Indeed. The Reverend Father Doctor Spitzer is trying. The Lavender Mafia is aging but still alive and well at GU.

In 2000 and 2001, Spitzer barred a Planned Parenthood speaker and an on-campus performance of "The Vagina Monologues," an all-woman play made up of monologues about sex, masturbation and lesbianism.

Critics said the decisions undercut academic freedom.

But the same "critics" feel this speaker should have been banned.

Gonzaga University, which has rejected recent attempts to bring a Planned Parenthood speaker and "The Vagina Monologues" to the school, now is under fire for the on-campus appearance of a conservative who contends homosexuality is a matter of choice.

Gonzaga seems like a great place to send your college-bound children!

Gonzaga will be a great place to send your child. I'm hoping to turn this place around, one speaker at a time. Thanks for the support. We need it here. I am the president of the College Republicans at GU and look for more events coming up in the near future. Thanks again. This is one of the few websites that supports what we do. Keep up the good work.
