Chancellor: Programs taken out of context (USC-Upstate)

USC Upstate Chancellor Tom Moore said two programs at the university dealing with homosexuality have been taken out of context from the rest of student life on campus.

Moore said he believes both controversies, which have been covered by national media in recent months, have been more of an issue off campus than on.

“I’ve been surprised by what seems to be a narrow view of the role of higher education by some in state government,” Moore said. “Some in the General Assembly see higher education as intended to serve their concept of state interest, their idea of what is appropriate.”

Republican Sens. Lee Bright, R-Roebuck, and Mike Fair, a fellow Republican from Greenville County, said in a statement last week that they voted in opposition to all candidates for reappointment to the University of South Carolina board of trustees, who were unopposed, because of recent decisions allow “left-leaning” books and performances with gay themes.

However, the chancellor said, the idea that USC Upstate is assigning readings or scheduling performances to indoctrinate or recruit gays is a misinformed position.

Uh huh.

It's really not satire - I checked before reading EPUnum's post #5. This university Chancellor does not see why tax dollars should be spent for the public interest rather than on the private entertainment/corruption of the young.

students do NOT NEED training about homosexual behaviors
(they already long know this stuff by the time they reach university anyway!!!)

the students are there to learn English Literature, Mathematics, and Chemistry, etc. and etc.

Teach them those things.
That’s what your paid to do.

“This is the most optimistic I’ve been since I got here,” Moore said. “We’re positioned to take off and really excel.”

It DOES sound like satire. But, in fact, it appears Tommy is in for a disappointment.
