I know my reply to his message may have made in seem that I was objecting to the scholarship random thoughts Send a noteboard - 25/08/2011 11:10:33 PM
but like I said elsewhere I don't object to them offering a scholarship to students who are GLBT. I object to them doing it under the guise of diversity when the group is already over represented. I was using it as an example of the fuzzy logic used on the left. If they were honest with their goal, to increase diversity, they would use their scholarship money to attract under represented groups or groups that would not normally be drawn to their school.
