SACRAMENTO, Calif. – After a student council at California's largest two-year college endorsed a ban on "gay" marriage, critics were infuriated and called for the members to be removed – but support for traditional marriage ultimately prevailed.

The resulting turnout broke statewide records for college campus elections. With 3,531 ballots cast Oct 21-22, members targeted for recall won by a 200 to 300-vote margin.
Councilman Vladimir Musorivschi said the vote reflected student support of traditional marriage.

Just what I was thinking! We need to talk it up on the bench when good things like this happen in our society.
I, for one, am tired of the frequency with which Devil makes the front page.
This is why I had no problem with the recall being launched. I had faith in the student voters to make the best determine for their representatives.
Freedom of speech...as long as you’re a liberal
There are lots of great kids out there who haven’t drunk the Kool-Aide. My eldest son goes to college with them.
“Students who support “gay” marriage were furious and collected more than 200 signatures to recall the students who voted for the resolution.”
Sounds like Kenya elections.
Don’t like the vote? Try to do away with the opponent.
Get real! They always had individual freedom of speech. This was an endorsement on behalf of the student body. They acted as representatives. Some students believed they were not being represented well, enough to reach a threshold for a recall vote. The recall ultimately failed meaning a majority of the voters feel represented.
This is how the process of a representative gov't OUGHT to work. No one was suppressed.
NO. You're being blinded by your own bias.
It was actually this: "Don't like your representation? Try to change it."
God bless all people, but especially our future leaders, for standing up to the evil in this world!
