A new spirit of intolerance has arisen on the Johns Hopkins University campus, and conservative Christians are the targets. The JHU student government’s vote this week to ban any hypothetical future Chick-fil-A outlet from campus because of the company owner’s support for traditional marriage, coming on the heels of the JHU Spring Fair’s censorship of a pro-life fetal-model display as “disturbing” and “triggering,” sends a clear message that students who disagree with liberal orthodoxy are not welcome on the Hopkins campus. The student government’s vote went beyond merely expressing support for same-sex marriage. The Chick-fil-A ban seeks to introduce unprecedented discrimination against companies owned by religious conservatives into the university’s contracting policies, even though only a few years ago, prominent liberals like Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton and President Barack Obama had held the same views on marriage. In banning Chick-fil-A from campus for “homophobia,” the JHU student government is only a short step from similarly giving the boot to socially conservative Christian, Catholic, Muslim, Orthodox, and Jewish student groups from campus, as we have seen happen at Vanderbilt University, the 23 campuses of California State University, and others throughout the country. Whatever your opinion on same-sex marriage, the JHU student government’s idea that the mere presence of Chick-fil-A on campus would promote “homophobia” and amount to discrimination against the LGBT community is absurd. This view is premised, first of all, on the assumption that advocates of traditional marriage are devoid of rational argument and inspired only by hatred, and second, on the notion that allowing a company owned by someone who supports traditional marriage to operate on campus is equivalent to endorsing that support. Such a narrow-minded view is possible only because JHU, like so many other colleges, has become dominated by an intolerant strain of liberalism that is intent...

You are incorrect. The intelligentsia took him very seriously. Goebbels got his ideas from none other than American Intelligentsia that found homage in the Wilson Administration. Read Philip Dru; Administrator for an insight to the thought process of Wilson’s closest adviser, Edward M House.
No more choppadicoffamies at Johns Hopkins? Society’s loss.

If that's "taking off the gloves", we are truly doomed to just sit back and watch. Most of them don't believe in Hell or don't think they may be candidates. The threat isn't ours to make and it is ineffectual. Until we are every bit as activist as they are, we may as well be sitting on our thumbs.
Oh yes. Though the civility is the one-sided kind.
The losers in this situation are John Hopkins students. When I visited my son at his school a few years back (not at John Hopkins), the Chik-fil-a was by far the busiest place at lunchtime. For us there was no question as to where we would eat.
A good idea...there are a number of products already on the market who print Bible verses on their labeling...Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar and the Ezekiel bread line come to mind.
Anyone with a spark of sanity left is being pushed to the margins.
Talk of a zombie apocalypse....
And it should be, for now, specifically the verses in which God calls sodomy an abomination, and the like, because it’s specifically sodomites who are attacking the businesses-there’s not an “adultery lobby” or a “murder agenda” trying to force Christian businesses to celebrate those sins.
“Like, setting up for the antichrist bad.”
That’s the conclusion I came to several months ago. I figure that everything is falling in to place for End Times and that’s the sad truth of it.
Edward’s Pies used to have Bible verses on their boxes but the company was sold and no more Bible verses.
Cook-Out spreading the message of food and faith
Ownership: Private, family-owned
Territory: North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia
A new restaurant on The Strip is finding success among University of Tennessee and West Knoxville communities with a unique foundation centered on faith.
Cook-Out may be known for its hamburgers, barbecue and milkshakes served at the Cumberland Avenue and Kingston Pike locations, but an uncommon Christian atmosphere separates the chain from its fast-food counterparts. The restaurant routinely plays Christian music for patrons and displays scriptures on its wrappers and cups.
Allen Brooks, opening director at Cook-Out, said the religious influence comes from the chain’s family-oriented business model.
“In the family there’s a lot of Christian influence, and they grew up in the South. It just kind of seemed natural,” he said. “We’ve got scriptures on our cups and on the bags from the family scriptures that they like. It just kind of stood out to them.”
