As a Harvard grad ('73) I am ashamed of this captitulation to muslime demands, and I hope that Harvard gets its butt sued for this.

We should accomodate muslime fetishes in the US when the first synagogue opens in Mecca.

[advertising guy]

it is gettin real close to slappin time.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

I guess they’ll be banning BLT sandwiches and pork chops from the school cafeteria next.

[Y2000]

I am OK with this only if Harvard first bans hijab/burka/etc on compus.

[AppyPappy]

I have EVER seen a female Muslim student wearing anything resembling Muslim woman gear. That includes the Iranian students. The only people who wear it are the wives of professors and white women pretending to be oppressed Muslims.

[Allegra]

Screw 'em.

If they can't blend in with our culture, they can go home.

I live in a Muslim country. I don't know of a single concession their society has made to accommodate our culture.

We wouldn't think of being so rude as to ask them to do so.

[bikerman]

When is America going to wake up and stop all this PC BS.

[Blue Turtle]

Isn’t this what happened in the UK....and the slowly Sharia Law is beginning to take over.

[JimRed]

No problem, so long as an equal number of men only hours are set aside.

[Brilliant]

In the good ole days, the whole school was men only. Soon, it will be women only.

[EagleUSA]

What a crock of liberal pandering crap. These pandering fools should be reminded THIS IS AMERICA. It is NOT a Muslim country.

[oldenuff2no]

They damn sell wouldn’t make any allowances for Christians!!!!!!!
Make our schools secular and make no allowances for any of this crap.
We need to cut off any and all government funds to this school until this goes away!!!!

The left and the muslims were bound to butt heads eventually, and on some matter of sex, predictably. Segregation of women, or exaltation of homosexuality, these are issues on which both sides are intransigent.

[neodad]

I guess “Separate but Equal” is back.

[ketsu]

I wouldn’t care if they had man only time so girls couldn’t laugh at my chubby belly.

[Vanders9]

Yep I agree.

[Free State Four]

Girls, we do have colleges that admit only women. They are very few, but they exist. Go there.

[Archon of the East]

Yea and to accommodate Christians Harvard purchases 10 lions. Go ahead keep sending your kids to these "elite" institutions.

[abstracTT]

islam is like the Borg, resistence is futile
