Mining Levity From Inanity




I was wondering why I've been seeing news crews in downtown Hingham, Massachusetts the past couple of days.

A Catholic school, actually the one associated with my parish, has rejected a student applicant because he has two mommies - big softball players I believe!

It's a private school, right? Can't they admit whom they want? Can't they discriminate and be selectively *hypocritical*???

Who cares...

However, there was one hilarious excerpt from that article:

Attorney Shawn Gaylord, public policy director for the New York-based Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network, an advocacy group for gay students, said the Massachusetts law barring discrimination in schools based on sexual orientation applies only to public schools.

Gaylord?!

Obviously, Bernie MADOFF had the best, most apt name ever.

And that yacht guy's name was funny too.

Heh nice catch.. the Archdiocese even said the parents' orientation shouldn't have had anything to do with it. More so than being a private or parochial school, I felt more of the exclusion coming from the fact the school is in Hingham (haughtiness/classism aside.) Oh well, Godspeed C-nut on your travels + new life in NY. Or should that be "Excelsior"?
