Ummmmmm.... There's this little thing called the First Amendment. They are in blatent violation. If Publicly funded schools can't have prayers because it violates the phantom separation of Church and State, then a Publicly funded school violating a company's executive's freedom of speech, is a blatent violation.

Davidson College is coming out in support of perverting marriage. Nice.

Didn’t the Feds allow public universities to kick out the ROTC?

The suspension came after the chain's president sparked a national debate by speaking out against same-sex marriage.

Yet the chain didn't discriminate or refuse service to gays

So much for the tolerance these institutions of higher learning espouse.

OH NO!!! Why this will have to be a separate line item on the 2012 income statement. Please tell me that similar action won’t be taken at the East Armit, NJ community college. That would be devastating news!

Have a suggestion for those libtards who have issues with Chik-Fil-A and refuse to east one of their tasty Chik-Fil-A sandwiches: try Esad. It’s made just for you. I’d like lots of libtards to try Esad. It’s made naturally. Some versions of Esad include corn. For those who try Esad, but think it stinks, try Foad as a great alternative.

The college might as well put up a sign saying, “Christians are not permitted as they don’t reflect Davidson College values.”

If there is any doubt that many of today’s schools and colleges are socialist indoctrination centers, this type of crap removes that doubt.

More big govt dictates on what we eat, what we drink, where we will wok, live, and play.

If my kid was in that school, I’d cut off the money until s/he changed to a different school.

The camel not only has his head in the (socialist) tent, he’s all the way in, except for the ass, and it’s in the White House.

Let the lawsuits begin. The Left lives by lawsuits. The Left is going to die by lawsuits.

The math is quite easy to do.

More liberal boycotts = more sales revenue for Chick-fil-A

Never heard of Davidson. Maybe they’re trying to use this to make a name for themselves. Sort of like Hillsboro tried to make a name for itself with the so called “Scopes Monkey Trial.”

Not that it makes the school’s decision any more acceptable, but Davidson College is a private university, not public.

As we all know, the media distorts and lies, sometimes lying by omission.

So, the article states that Chick Fil-A sandwiches will no longer be “served” at the events in question.

Was Chick Fil-A donating the sandwiches? They’re known to do that, the company is VERY generous that way. If they no longer want their free sandwiches, that’s good. Chick Fil-A will find a different group to donate. If they actually did purchase the sandwiches to be “served” (and for some reason, I doubt that), the addition of this family’s now frequent trips to Chick Fil-A more than makes up for that loss.

"...the chain's president sparked a national debate by speaking out against same-sex marriage."

He did no such thing. He spoke out in support of traditional marriage, which is patently not the same thing.

OK, I went and googled Davidson College. I was shocked to find that they are a Religous College. From their interwebs site:

“Religious Life

Welcome! Religious life at Davidson College is celebrated on the affirmation that we are all created in the image of God, brothers and sisters in the human family, whatever our creed, heritage or beliefs.

As a Presbyterian church-related college, Davidson values the life of the spirit and fosters openness to and respect for the world’s various faith traditions.

With many religious resources and organizations on campus, we seek to be a community where everyone may grow spiritually through worship, fellowship, service, and study.

Peace be with you.

—The Rev. Rob Spach, College Chaplain”

From Davidson’s website regarding their “religious heritage” -

What is the Presidential Qualification Bylaw?
The Bylaws of the Trustees of Davidson College state, “The trustees shall elect a President of the College who shall serve as the chief executive officer of the college. They shall elect only a person who is a loyal and active church member, whose life provides evidence of strong Christian faith and commitment. Such faith and commitment will be appropriately expressed by affiliation with the Presbyterian Church (USA) and active participation in the life of Davidson College Presbyterian Church.”
