I rerspectfully disagree with you here, V. Emory, as a private institution, has every right to state uncategorically that they are opposed to this sort of thing. Private organizations within the college are also welcome to state their opinion and to educate those around them. The main weapon we have against hateful speech is speech. The hatemongers know this - This is why these girls (and others who hold non-inclusive views) are homeschooled - to shield them from opinions. Should there be a law against homeschooling? Hell no - but it sure gives it a bad name.
To get back to my point, too many of us (and by us I mean our generation, the PC generation) believe that freedom of speech means that every opinion should be heard equally. I say that freedom of speech is the right (and the obligation) to shout down the voices of intolerance and injustice, and to speak constantly and loudly about what I believe to be right - to be a pain in the ass about it to anyone who'll listen. If enough people hear me and join me, the world changes for the better. And Emory has the same obligation.
And for the record, I've heard a couple clips from this album - the girls are HORRIBLE singers.
