Western Washington University: Don't bring hate to campus

The Issue

Every year Western puts on the Law School Info Fair. This year the infamously homophobic Liberty University was invited to attend. Liberty was founded by none other than Jerry Falwell (the guy who blamed 9/11 on queer people and called a Teletubby gay). Good ol’ Jerry’s ideology spread to his university. They expel queer students, mark students down for taking pro-gay stances on tests, and encourage reparative therapy, which has been recognized as both ineffective and harmful by the American Psychological Association.

Liberty University stands contrary to Western values against hate and discrimination. They will create an unsafe space for queer students, staff, and faculty and their allies, making them a disservice to everyone. Hate is not a Western value. Tell Western not to bring hate to campus and to formally disinvite Liberty from attending the Law School Info Fair.
