Johns Hopkins Halts Discussion To Bring Chick-Fil-A To Campus Because Of Its Beliefs
Chalk up another loss for capitalism against political correctness. Today, the sad, sad story out of Johns Hopkins where the student government approved a resolution that will keep Chick-fil-A from building a restaurant on campus, thus denying the student body of a good meal. The reasoning for all of this? Because Chick-fil-A supports the whole traditional marriage thing.
From The College Fix:
The Student Government Association there approved a resolution that called on administrators to put to a halt any discussions or plans to bring a Chick-fil-A to campus, citing the company’s support of traditional marriage and saying the restaurant, if allowed at Johns Hopkins, would be a campus “microaggression.”
“The SGA does not support the proposal of a Chick-fil-A, in a current or future sense, particularly on any location that is central to student life,” states the resolution passed by the student government, which noted “visiting prospective and current students, staff, faculty, and other visitors who are members of the LGBTQ+ community or are allies would be subjected to the microaggression of supporting current or future Chick-fil-A development plans.”
Let’s put politics aside, here. Let’s not bring up the argument of which is right. Let’s boil all this down to one simple argument: Does Chick-fil-A make a damn good sandwich? The answer is a resounding yes. There’s nothing better than getting the original chicken sandwich, side of waffle fries, 6-count nuggets, Arnold Palmer to drink, and about ten Chick-fil-A sauces.
The student government is depriving the campus of good food. For what? Because they think that the LGBTQ community will be subjected to microaggression? Get out of here. There are starving children in Africa who would kill for a chicken sandwich and some waffle fries.

and I’m sure most of you would support an establishment choosing not to serve a patron based on the store owners beliefs. Johns hopkins doesn’t want to support an establishment that they strongly disagree with. nothing wrong with that
9 years ago at 11:56 amDoes the SGA speak for every Johns Hopkins student? Also, it halted any and all discussions that would have taken place regarding the development of a Chick Fil-A. The word “discussion” is key here, as this would have been a forum for people to support or not support such a business. And what makes your comparison apples to orange is the store owner has the choice to sell or not sell, as does the consumer to buy or not buy. In this instance, really no one has any choice, other than an elected body of students where maybe 5% of students voted for the 20 or so goobers that cared enough to run.
9 years ago at 12:11 pmSucks for them. Im from Ny and would perform highly shameless questionable acts for a chicken sandwich from them
9 years ago at 12:15 pmAlso from NY. Not sure how far away you are from Manhattan, but if you ever venture into the city there’s a Chick Fil-A on the NYU campus.
9 years ago at 12:19 pmIm from upstate, several hours away unfortunately. Id have a pledge walk through fire for a sandwich from there though.
9 years ago at 12:24 pmJohn Hopkins was a Quaker and without a doubt would have been opposed to homosexual marriage. He would be ashamed. Maybe they should change their views instead of forcing them on others.
9 years ago at 12:17 pmDude, his name was Johns. With an ‘s’. It’s in the title of the article goddamnit. Johns Hopkins.
9 years ago at 6:20 pmWell that just discredits my whole comment, doesn’t it?
9 years ago at 9:14 amGood work, fast food chains are fucking disgusting.
9 years ago at 12:20 pmI really hate gays.
9 years ago at 12:56 pmStrong take
9 years ago at 1:05 pmThis is fucking apparent.
9 years ago at 10:17 pmWTF is microaggression? It’s sad to see Johns Hopkins students deprived of Chick-fil-A because of the typical liberal logic of, “acceptance and equality for everyone, unless you don’t agree with our agenda, in which case you can go to hell, you bigot.” With all this talk of Chick-fil-A, I’m tempted to take a second lunch to go get a #1 with sweet tea.
