Anyone on campus standing up for this minority group?

We received a letter to the editor today from a student at the College of Southern Nevada. He explained he is taking a Women’s Studies class and has been assigned a project to pick a social group he feels has suffered injustice and then then try to make a difference.

Of course, his topic of choice is gay and lesbian couples who would like to marry. He makes the usual comments about them being subject to hate crimes and the victims of religious bigotry.

My question is: Would anyone in such a class ever dare to try to “make a difference” by trying to stand up for middle American pro life, Bible thumping, gun toting people who are being denigrated daily in the media and on campuses for their traditional values and so-called religious bigotry?

What are the odds? Astronomical, you say?
