According to Campus Reform, several hundred Boston College students got mad enough to march because the university didn’t issue a strong enough condemnation against homophobia after a recent “incident” at the school.

In fact, Tom Morgan, BC’s associate vice president and dean of students, wrote an open letter to students that clearly stated his intentions to punish whomever rearranged the letters on a parking lot sign to say “no fags.”

“Boston College takes this very seriously and, as the Dean of Students, I would like to make it clear that Boston College does not tolerate acts of intolerance and hate toward any individuals or groups of individuals in our campus community,” Morgan said in the letter. 

Morgan went one step further and offered “support and assistance” to anyone who was “impacted by this incident.”

However, the students weren’t exactly satisfied with this response and there was one thing missing from it that sent them over the edge: the head president’s signature.

From Campus Reform:

Many students specifically complained that Fr. William Leahy, SJ, the president of Boston College, did not address the issue himself. The Graduate Pride Alliance even called him out on his “privilege.”

“Your silence has directly impacted the well-being of your queer and minoritized students during their most vulnerable moments—and not for the better,” the Graduate Pride Alliance declared in an open letter to Leahy in the student newspaper, The Heights.

“We welcome you to come talk to any one of the many queer students, staff, faculty, or priests at Boston College and ask what it feels like to watch our institution erase us from existence,” he wrote. “Come down from your ivory tower of privilege and confront any queer student you claim to support. Ask them about this latest incident and witness the gut-wrenching pain in their eyes as they plead for support and compassion—and most importantly, as always, stay silent.”

In all, 350 students marched and shouted their grievances which were broad and many. Some demanded answers as to why there is no full-time LGBT, no LGBT resource center, or genderless bathrooms. Others used the moment to continue the cry of systemic racism. But curiously, there was one student who launched a complaint that she couldn’t truly be herself on campus because she is blind in one eye.

It seems as though all of these students are blind in both eyes. The real world is going to be quite cruel to them.
