Mainstream Values Versus Pluralism

It was most interesting to read of the conservative antics of Harvard University’s AALARM group. Poor boys--all they want is a little respect for bashing the rights of all of those they don’t agree with--and I can bet you that AALARM members would do the same thing to groups they disagree with if they could.

I was most interested to note that the bulk of their despair was directed toward sexual issues they don’t agree with (gays, women’s reproductive rights). Will The Times treat us to AALARM’s views on racial issues in the next episode?
