Le Moyne Has No Shame

According to the Associated Press, Le Moyne College is appealing the court decision reported in yesterday’s FIRE press release:

LeMoyne College will appeal a court decision ordering the school to accept a student into its graduate teaching program who was rejected because he wrote a paper advocating corporal punishment, administrators said Thursday.

In the meantime, the Jesuit school said it would abide by the Appellate Division of state Supreme Court's decision Wednesday and allow Scott McConnell to enroll in classes for the spring semester.

The lengths to which Le Moyne is willing to go in order to preserve its edifice of repression are unbelievable. The censors there have already lost repeatedly in the court of public opinion and now in a court of law. May history repeat itself again and again until they finally get the message.
