Our nation was founded by religious folks, and one would hope that religious institutions would be a bulwark against the atheistic totalitarians who have substituted their own religion, Militant Secularism, for the faith of our Founders.
Not so.
1. One clue was the Jesuit institution, Fordham University, standing for pro-abortionist Singer rather than the free speech of Ann Coulter
“…the Jesuit college Fordham University welcomed infanticide and bestiality advocate Peter Singer for a panel discussion on Friday.
According to Fordham’s media relations website, Singer, a tenured Princeton bioethics professor, spoke from 4 to 6 p.m. in a panel the university promised “will provoke Christians to think about other animals in new ways.”
Singer has long lamented the societal stigma against having sex with animals. “Not so long ago,” Singer wrote in one essay, “any form of sexuality not leading to the conception of children was seen as, at best, wanton lust, or worse, a perversion. One by one, the taboos have fallen. But … not every taboo has crumbled.”
In the essay, titled “Heavy Petting,” Singer concluded that “sex across the species barrier,” while not normal, “ceases to be an offence [sic] to our status and dignity as human beings.” “Occasionally mutually satisfying activities may develop” when humans have sex with their pets, he claimed.
In addition to supporting bestiality and immediately granting equal legal rights to animals, Singer has also advocated euthanizing the mentally ill and aborting disabled infants on utilitarian grounds.
In his 1993 essay “Taking Life,” Singer, in a section called “Justifying Infanticide and Non-Voluntary Euthanasia,” wrote that “killing a disabled infant is not morally equivalent to killing a person.”
“Very often it is not wrong at all,” he added, noting that newborns should not be considered people until approximately a month after their birth.
Both Singer and his supporters maintain that ethics experts must often confront taboo topics to arrive at greater philosophical truths.” Campus president condemns Coulter event, silent as professor who calls sex with animals potentially ‘satisfying’ speaks
2. The very same Fordham effectively barred conservative columnist Ann Coulter from speaking on campus last week,
The Jesuit university’s president, Joseph M.McShane wrote in a statement the day before the Coulter speaking engagement was canceled. “There are many people who can speak to the conservative point of view with integrity and conviction, but Ms. Coulter is not among them. Her rhetoric is often hateful and needlessly provocative — more heat than light — and her message is aimed squarely at the darker side of our nature.” Op.Cit.

3. This week, Fordham has taken a Leftist's position on the thugs of BLM.
"Fordham University is persecuting a student for speech that shouldn’t even be all that controversial. Surely the Jesuits who run the school aren’t afraid of honest debate?
At issue are two Instagram posts last month from Austin Tong, age 21: one implicitly criticizing anti-police protests and another showing himself holding a rifle to memorialize the Tiananmen Square massacre.
The first showed a photo of former St. Louis Police Capt. David Dorn, killed by looters as he tried to protect a friend’s pawn store, which Tong captioned “Y’all are a bunch of hypocrites.” It was plainly a political statement — slamming those furious about George Floyd’s murder at police hands but indifferent to Dorn’s killing.
Also political was his other post, with the caption “Don’t tread on me” for a picture taken with a legal rifle on his own property — which he says was meant to show the Tiananmen massacre would’ve had “fewer casualties” if the victims had guns.
Yet Dean of Students Keith Eldredge claimed Tong’s posts made “members of the Fordham community” feel threatened. Does it even matter that those feelings were irrational — or that feelings aren’t supposed to trump reasoned argument?"
