Harvard University is caving in the matters of “multi-cultural education.” In order to make Muslim women more comfortable using the gym, Harvard has decided to try instituting a woman-only access time for the gym. [2] Six hours a week, the gym will be open only for females in order to accommodate their religious customs.
Here’s what Ola Aljawhary, Harvard’s Islamic Society’s Islamic Knowledge Committee officer, has to say. “We live together in one community, it only makes sense for everyone to compromise slightly in order for everyone to live happily,” she said. “This matter is simple: Can’t we just display basic decency and show tolerance and inclusion for people not a part of the mainstream majority?” Let’s watch this unfold. First it’s female-only gym time. Then we’ll see footbaths in every building on campus. Then it will be no pork in the dining halls. All females must dress modestly in order to not offend a Muslim … what’s to stop this culture of accommodation from spreading? It doesn’t. But it’s all in the name of multi-cultural education.
Boortz asks:
When do we make a stand and tell these people ‘NOT ONE MORE INCH”?
Look Neal, I understand why you’re saying that. I understand the implication. But what you’re not addressing is the idea of logic….
On what logical basis, would we raise objections now, after having spent so many years, Butt kissing with these people? On what basis would we say no to their demands that wouldn’t run directly afoul of what we’ve already done? We gave them the tools to fight us with. The legal precedent has already been set. We opened ourselves up to this nonsense in both a llegal and moral sense. under the guise of “Civil rights”. The dam has already been leaking for some years, now.
To accomplish what you suggest would require that at the outset,we seriously rethink what we call “rights” today. Such a rethinking would require my definition saying as a unified body of people that what we have been doing on these matters all along is dead wrong. Given what we’ve just witnessed in the primary season of this election, I suppose you know what kind of a chance we have of that occurring anytime soon.
