If in fact the University functions in a traditional Jesuit fashion one would expect it to be somewhat conservative, but evidently that is not the case.
Recently Fordham made news when it barred Ann Coulter from speaking on campus last week. Coulter is a lawyer, conservative social and political commentator, author and syndicated columnist. She is known for being very outspoken concerning her conservative political and social views. Evidently those views are not shared by the administration of Fordham university.
After barring Coulter from speaking on campus, the university extended a warm greeting to Peter Singer. Serving as a tenured Princeton bioethics professor, Singer is also a well-known animal-rights advocate who has even promoted the extinction of the human race for the benefit of the rest of the planet. When advertising for singers speaking engagement to be university promised that it would provoke Christians to think about other animals in new ways.
Some years back I was doing some research on Peter Singer writings, where he advocated infanticide, euthanasia, letting the terminally ill, the handicapped, and people of lesser means to die unless they are able to take care of themselves. Ironically when his mother became ill, Singer did what he could to try to save her in direct contradiction to what he was teaching and advocating.
Lately, Singer has become better known for his advocacy of animal-rights to the point of justifying human–animal sexual relations, i.e. beastiality.
Some of Singer’s writings include:
- “Not so long ago, 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.”
- “Sex across the species barrier, ceases to be an offense to our status and dignity as human beings. Occasionally mutually satisfying activities may develop.”
Concerning his views on infanticide, Singer wrote in 1993:
“Killing a disabled infant is not morally equivalent to killing a person. Very often it is not wrong at all.”
- “Basically, the Church is not afraid of any idea, if it has a fair chance freely to explain its own position."
Perhaps that should be the epitaph placed on the tombstone of America that once was:
“America died from moral corruption because too much of the culture accepted it.”
