[Vision2020] Not On The Palouse, Not Ever (Update #61)

[Donovan Arnold]

While I agree with Dr. Quinlan in principle that
bigotry exists in Moscow, especially toward the poor,
disabled, minorities, elderly, gay and lesbians, and
the religious, I think he undermines his position when
he gets most of his examples of information incorrect,
or translates something into being discrimination when
it is not.

Dr. Quinlan needs to make sure his information is
correct, otherwise he just undermines all of his
points. I can list many more pieces of information
that give evidence of discrimination in this town that
hurt people everyday, and sadly, most are from the
University of Idaho, not Christ Church.

Dr. Quinlan, I believe, wrote this piece to attack
Doug Wilson for his religious beliefs and ideology,
not to point out instances of discrimination against
in Moscow. He is trying to use an emotional appeal to
those that hate discrimination.

In other words, he is being intellectually dishonest.
If discrimination is the target, why not start with
the University's policies that discriminate? If Mr.
Wilson's religious ideology is the problem, attack the
ideology.
