To: Bulldawg Fan; Wuli

I'm sympathetic to you dawgfan, but I'm in Wuli's camp. If this were about a porn flick or working in a strip club, it would be a different story. Just my opinion, but the bureaucrats went too far on this one.

To: Night Hides Not; bulldawg

I am sympathetic to bulldawg as well.

I understand and appreciate his moral point of view.

But, I see how the legal concept of granting schools the right that bulldawg seeks, because it can produce the result he seeks, validates the law for schools to, by the same rationale, produce results which neither bulldawg, you or I want to support.

People should really read public writings and recorded statements of SCOTUS Justice Scalia. He writes and speaks so clearly about the law, about protecting the law and its constitutional foundations instead of subverting it, only because, by twisting it to our purpose we like the result we can obtain by doing so.

He constantly demonstrates how that activism becomes precedents that turn around to bite us in the end.

He constantly demonstrates how the activist seeking of results as a higher calling than maintaining the constitutional foundation and structure we have been given , almost always winds up diminishing our rights in the long run; no matter what benevolent purpose for which we let or constitutional standard slip, at first.
