I would have an even bigger issue if a nun walks around in her robe on a university campus.
- denzil_correa 10y agoWhy?
- 4ad 10y agoBecause I believe religion and politics have no place in a university.
- denzil_correa 10y agoDoes freedom of expression have a place?
- 4ad 10y agoIndividual freedom of expression has a place in a university. Institutional freedom of expression (in general) does not. When a nun or priest in uniform comes to a university, they are representatives of the church. To be there, they have to ask permissions (and if the university is any good, it would deny this permission). A student can dress up as a nun, or priest, or nazi, or wear no clothes or whatever, and I will support his right. But the church institution, or political parties, or the army have no place there. If a nun does non-church business, she should wear civilian clothing.
- denzil_correa 10y ago> A student can dress up as a nun, or priest, or whatever, and I will support his right. You do realize that this was the point under discussion and you actually agree to what I was implying?
- misnome 10y agoAnd free speech, apparently.
- 4ad 10y agoFree speech is (sadly) already restricted at universities. Make however a distinction between the free speech of individuals, and that of institutions (such as the church) operating on university premises. There is a place for indiscriminately allowing the former, but not the latter.
- misnome 10y agoHow do you distinguish between the latter, and allowing groups of individuals a place to worship as a group?
