How’s this for a parting shot? Michael Bruer, editor in chief of The Collegian, the Saint Mary’s College newspaper, pens a graduation farewell editorial in which he castigates the school for being too liberal and for abandoning its Catholic roots. An excerpt:
Our identity as a Catholic college is in name only. We have a Women’s Resource Center (WRC) which is rumored to be sending young women to Planned Parenthood, an organization which is definitively and diametrically opposed to the Catholic Church. I concede that a Gay-Straight Alliance (GSA) does have good intentions, but from my experience and the anecdotes of others, I have found it to be a breeding ground for anti-Catholic sentiment.
To say that a glance at the speakers brought onto our campus over the years illustrates our liberal leanings is an understatement. Bill Ayers and Gloria Steinem are two excellent examples of the clear bias towards liberal speakers.
