Universities tolerant of all viewpoints, except Christian

Though I've never been to a Promise Keepers meeting myself, it doesn't seem that an organization devoted to drawing men to take care of their familes would give anyone a problem. That's not the case, though, for groups opposed to PK.

Evidently, the notion of having a rally at a state university is just too much diversity for those with no tolerance for this group's message. Note the comments of the Promise Keepers rep: "If you're going to be an open organization, and if you're going to invite in a diversity of opinions, Christianity, certainly, gets a seat at the table." Preach it, brother.

In promoting diversity and tolerance, those doing so typically say others opposing are afraid of change and what might be presented could shake the normal way of thinking. Perhaps. What if men started taking the PK message more to heart and became more involved in their familes? What would happen if husbands and fathers invested more time in their wives and children?

Maybe tolerance/diversity people are right in this case, even if they didn't mean to be. Too bad they follow their own logic only when it suits them.
