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.

People are so fucking soft. If i complained every time I was offended by delusional liberals I would never leave my house. Why are we catering to the whiny pussies of our generation?
10 years ago at 5:10 pmDo you know how much Money Chickfila loses by standing up to its beliefs on staying closed on Sunday’s? It’s so rare in today’s age that a company actually stands for its beliefs rather than profits.

10 years ago at 10:54 pmIf it was a company that openly opposed gun rights or some other right-wing views, it would be welcomed happily. The liberalization of America continues.
10 years ago at 5:01 amDo gay people care solely on marriage rights? They’ve been excluded from marriage for the past 300 years in America, so I’m sure any gay person would sacrifice their political views for some chicken and waffle fries. Now what about the kids getting kicked out onto the street when their parents find out the kid is swinging for the same team? That’s some shit to fight over
10 years ago at 11:10 amI have a gay cousin who thinks these Chik-Fil-A boycotts are the stupidest fucking thing in the world. He continues to eat there because, in his words, “its good chicken”. He doesn’t give a fuck that the owner disapproves of his lifestyle. He’s there to get some fast food, not to get blessing for his gayness.

Every business is owned by someone with at least some beliefs you disagree with. Tech companies like Apple and Google are run by liberals who donate to liberal causes but you don’t see mass conservative boycott campaigns against them because that would be retarded. If everyone subjected every company they buy from to a political litmus checklist, our entire economy would grind to a fucking halt.
Lacrosse is just about the only thing that makes Johns Hopkins a credible school, that and their academics.

10 years ago at 11:05 amThis is literally capitalism… Chick-Fil-A supported organizations that people disagree with and have since suffered the consequences… Which part of that isn’t capitalism?
