Default Notre Dame professor's lament

http://www.opinionjournal.com/taste/?id=110008239

On Father Jenkins' decision to allow vagina monologues on campus:

Quote:
Although Father Jenkins called his announcement the "Closing Statement," the debate is unlikely to go away. More is at stake than the fairly standard, indeed humdrum, questions about "censorship" and "free speech" on campus. To some of us--and I speak as a Notre Dame professor--Father Jenkins's decision is one more step in a long process of secularization: It has already radically changed the major Protestant universities in this country; it is now proceeding apace at the Catholic ones.

in the past, BYU allowed a "subversive" element on campus in the form of the foreign film series, that were largely uncut.

I suppose someone got away with it because mullahs, likely, as a rule, don't watch foreign films ("If I'm going to have to read, I might as well read my comics").

international cinema? Those were not that big of a deal anyway. I would think BYU would certainly stay away from anything with vagina in the title however.
