PHILADELPHIA - When part-time college student Jihad Daniel received a campuswide e-mail invitation to see a movie about lesbians, he balked.
"These are perversions," he replied to the e-mail's sender, asking that he no longer be sent information about "Connie and Sally" or "Adam and Steve."
The next thing he knew, the 68-year-old student at William Paterson University in Wayne, N.J., was accused of violating the state school's anti-discrimination policy.
A letter of reprimand followed in June, describing his brief comments to the sender — the head of the women's studies program — as "derogatory or demeaning."
Leftists often talk about their devotion to tolerance and open-mindedness, but often that tolerance doesn't extend to ideas and beliefs that are not their own.
In this case a man who simply does not want to be notified about events advocating things he finds objectionable gets reprimanded. Why? Because he dared to challenge liberal convention.
In the minds of some of these people they have every right to shove their values in your face, but you have no right to make your own values known to them.
