[Vision2020] Trinity Festival

[TIM RIGSBY]

>From Doug Wilson's blog:

"In that letter we see the precise nature of their commitment to tolerance 
and free speech. "We have exchanged several emails with you and President 
White on the advisability of the UI hosting such a community divisive 
conference. While we appreciate the importance of free speech, particularly 
on a university campus, we asked that the UI continue to provide public 
access in free speech areas so that essential right is not curtailed rather 
that (sic) rent university facilities for such purposes."

Translation: These ladies believe that free speech is very important, 
particularly on a university campus, and so they want the UI to back out of 
its rental agreement with Trinity Festival because of what the people at the 
conference might say. In other words, their commitment to free speech is 
highly rarified and theoretical. But, by the way, our festival is renting 
from the UI -- the UI is not "hosting" or sponsoring this conference."

Yes Doug, UI is not hosting this controversial conference, but when 
something such as this takes place under the roof of the University of 
Idaho, it can be perceived by outsiders that UI is hosting such an event.  
Why does CC need to use UI anyway, they have their own facilities and plenty 
of other facilities as well?

If you think the 1912 building is a drain on tax dollars, then why doesn't 
CC utilize that building instead?  instead of renting facilities from the 
terrible government school, rent the 1912 center.  Instead of having your 
college in the wrong zone, sell the building and buy the Tidyman's building. 
   Seems to make sense to me, but what do I know, I play kickball.
