The News As I See It
Let's see here.
So John McCain gives a commencement speech at the New School in New York on May 19th. The main thrust of his speech was that when he was younger he though he was always right and now that he is older and has served his country for 50 years he has come to appreciate the many different viewpoints and freedom for active debate. He also makes a good point about not only claiming your rights but also living up to your responsibility as a citizen.
In response to this presentation "Dozens of faculty and students turned their back on the Senator, others booed and heckled, and a senior invited to speak threw out her prepared remarks and mocked their invited guest as he sat nearby. Some 1,200 had signed petitions asking that Mr. McCain be disinvited."
At least it sounds like they really understood and appreciate the idea of being open for a friendly debate... And by friendly I mean if they don't get their way they stomp, scream and go home. Thanks for the free discussion.
In Biola news Clyde Cook is stepping down at the end of next year and according to ABC Biola is "Abstinence University." My favorite part of the video was Danny Pascal saying "in my experience whenever someone leaves this school (a.k.a. kicked out) it has been a mutual understanding that they would prefer to go some where else." Of course I am instantly trying to figure out why Drew and Danny came to the understanding that Drew would rather spend a semester in Ohio. After watching this video all I could think was we need to raise a fund to send Paul Smith down to Biola to talk to the two girls interviewed.

I dont really no how to respond to that video...It did make it look like Biola is judgemental and all the students are sheltered and have never been kissed (oh by the way, I think the reason that chick has never been kissed really has nothing to do with her not wanting to.. it takes two people to kiss) so basically this video was right on the money protraying Biola.
G i want you to get a copy of that contract and make sweet love on top of it the night of june 17th. sweet sweet love.
