The following is the December 2009 Letter from the Editor from The Voice, Principia's Upper School Student Publication. Readers will remember that until the 2009 change in the Free Speech Policy at the College, questioning and discussing the homosexual policy was considered to be "homosexual activity" (and grounds for dismissal). The editor in question implores … Continue reading Error is trying to split Principia

Recrafting free speech at Prin
This is a Pilot article from May 2009 which I thought was worth sharing. It took quite some time to actually FIND the article (linked as a PDF and in full below the cut), which discusses the "new" (at the time) Free Speech Policy. The article also discusses the old Free Speech Policy with relation … Continue reading Recrafting free speech at Prin
Principia’s 2009 “Free Speech” Policy
Unless you are living on campus and have access to the campus-only website much of the information about Principia's policies is not easily available. Their website is full of feel-good "we're all Christian Scientists isn't it all great" propaganda, which carefully hiding/downplaying things like their "Free Speech Policy" and "sexual relations policies" (really, what business … Continue reading Principia’s 2009 “Free Speech” Policy

Chronicle of a Gay Rights Activist – via the Pilot
This article pops up and vanishes again so I thought I would post it in full here. The original link shared under CS Resources now returns a 404-not found, and the Pilot's website is useless at finding old articles. I recently came across this PDF of the entire issue: http://principiapilot.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/pilot_compilation_5-27-10_web.pdf the article is on page … Continue reading Chronicle of a Gay Rights Activist – via the Pilot

More Children
Today is the 40th Anniversary of Roe v. Wade. I have strong views when it comes to pregnancy, and strongly feel that women can make their own decisions (without the assistance of politicians, or pressure from various "moral" factions). I do not want "morality" or family planning decisions legislated, nor do I want to discuss … Continue reading More Children
the Unreal Little Pink Box of Common Cold
One of the blogs I regularly read recently had a post on "Spreading the Germs of Joy" which compared the Old Testament handling of leprosy in Leviticus with how Jesus handled it in the New Testament. In Leviticus, if you get leprosy you're pretty much done for (unclean! unclean!), but if you're lucky enough to be … Continue reading the Unreal Little Pink Box of Common Cold
It’s The End Of The World
