Quote of the day

Our dean's decision not to allow students to fulfill their public service graduation requirements by volunteering at Planned Parenthood has received substantial local news coverage.  Most of it has been fair and balanced (though one wonders about the state of Catholic higher education when this decision is deemed sufficiently newsworthy to lead off a nightly newscast).  My favorite quote was from the head of Minnesota's Planned Parenthood office, who explained that Dean Mengler's decision not only violates academic freedom, but it also "illustrates a disturbing and dangerous lack of tolerance."
