There better be more details to this story than what I read above. If not, then I find this mural to be an appalling, utterly stupid mistake by my alma mater. Anyone know any more about it?
It's Marquette being Marquette. And someone got pissy with me the other day when I said that we had an unbelievably bloated bureaucracy. Put politics aside, a lot of these people are too stupid to be employed by any serious organization.
+100. I usually don't go in for the random shenanigans on campus, I don't get riled up about McAdams or whatever the angst flavor of the day is.But this one pisses me off. Anyone know if there's another side of the story? I mean, there has to be for unnatural carnal knowledges sake.
Look at the first post, MU tweeted out the picture praising it! Their is no other side. Both the administration and GSRC think this is a good idea.Should MU "shut it down?" No, but Lovell can and should make a speech decrying it, embarrassing those that thought this was a good idea and make it clear that this free expression of speech, while allowed, is not the right message.And while Lovell is at it, he can apologize to McAdams and say the same applies to him.He won't ... MU wants to be an elite university like that big school in Madison. That means celebrating violent left-wing murderers and punishing right-wingers that ask questions in a blog post.They are well on their way.
While I find this mural to be outrageous I find your comment to be asinine

Down 1 w 5 seconds left. Doable.
Really? The President of the University should make a speech (bringing more attention to it) with the intent of either "embarrassing" staff or students? No. What they should do is decide if it is inappropriate, and if so, paint it over sometime this summer.
Its already getting national news and when Walker weighs in (because someone will ask him), it will get a lot more.And if it is not getting enough attention, waiting until the GSRC members chain themselves to AMU door 425 to prevent it from being painted over this summer ... per your idea of saying nothing and sending in a maintenance man with a bucket of white paint some random Tuesday in July. You don't think that will make news?Finally, I don't think we should excuse the facebook post because we should come to expect MU to be a bloated inefficient bureaucracy where no one knows what anyone else is doing.
No one is going to chain themselves to anything unless the President of the University amps up the controversy by making a speech about it as a way of shaming students and staff. While this is a dumb thing, it isn't getting all that much attention and isn't really that big of a deal. This is something you handle quietly. And I have no idea what your last paragraph means. I have no idea who runs that Facebook account. For all I know it could be a student.
So the GSRC students are going to get a stern lecture behind closed doors and without any publicly it will quietly be painted over with no one saying a word about it? You really believe this will happen?
Do I think that's what will happen? No. My guess is nothing happens and this will fall on to the dustbin of controversies that really aren't that big of a deal. And no...Walker will not be asked about it.I think my suggestion that this be handled quietly is better than yours about giving a speech with the intent of embarrassing people.
http://www.rightwisconsin.com/perspectives/marquette-university-honors-a-cop-killer-304002621.htmlMarquette’s Gender and Sexuality Resource Center was set up as a sop to the campus gay lobby in the wake of Marquette’s refusal to hire aggressively lesbian Arts & Sciences dean candidate Jodi O’Brien. Not surprisingly, it has consistently pursued a leftist secular agenda including, for example, the Femsex Seminar, which was so raunchy and so opposed to Marquette’s supposed "Catholic mission" that the Administration ordered that sponsorship be withdrawn.
If it could be handled quietly, it would have never happened in the first place. This group seems to be so radicalized that I think their intention was to make an outrageous statements with the intent of getting push-back. And if this mural is not addressed, it will be forgotten because their next statement will be even more outrageous. So draw the line now.Responsibility is an important part of maturing. If you want to make statements like this, then you should be asked to defend them. If this is to much to ask of this group, then the GSRC should be closed.
I don't think the intent of the group was to make controversial statements for the sake of getting push back. I mean this mural was completed in late March and as far as I know, didn't come to the public's eye until the last few days.You're overreacting.
If it is not to attract attention, then please explain what they think the purpose of this mural is?
