“Gay rights activists target ‘religious colleges’ with letter asking NCAA to ‘divest'”

In recent decades, activists of various stripes have demanded that American businesses “divest” from South Africa because of apartheid and from Israel because of its occupation of the West Bank and Gaza — though, notably, I don’t recall these folks as calling from divestment from China, Russia, Libya, Zimbabwe, Syria, and other such tyrannous violators of human rights.

The indignation has always been . . . umm, selective.

Now though, it seems, some activists have selected a whole new set of targets:

(Thanks to Bradley Perkins for alerting me to this item.)

They’re all for diversity, of course, as long as it’s the kind of diversity that agrees with their views.

And this brings up one of my reservations regarding Governor John Kasich:

The battle for religious liberty threatens to be a very serious one.  And John Kasich doesn’t seem to care much about it.

I’ve said that I think he would make a decent president, and that I would support him if he were somehow to become the Republican nominee (in contrast to Donald Trump, whom I definitely will not support under any circumstances).  But I do have certain reservations about him (as I have about Senator Ted Cruz, for whom I’ll vote tomorrow night, and as I had about Governor Mitt Romney).  I acknowledge only one man as ever having been perfect.  And, sadly, he’s not running.
