Is very different from:Yet last week there was a serious - and depressing - development at a meeting of the council of Stirling University Students’ Association (SUSA). Its members voted by 15-1 to remove the Bible from more than 2,000 university rooms because, they said, providing it in all university accommodation was "presumptuous" and offensive to non-Christians. Seven members abstained.
yet both are taken from the article you posted.Rather, more fundamentally, it is deeply disturbing that students in a place of learning are attempting to ban a book. They’ll be wanting to burn them next. "[H]e who destroys a good book, kills reason itself," said Milton in Areopagitica.
You're letting the sensationalized wording of the article sway you emotionally. Nobody voted to ban anything. In fact, the original article says that they'll continue to be made available to anyone that wants them (at the dorms). They simply won't be placed in the rooms as a matter of course. Typical knee-jerk reaction though. Any time anyone says anything at all involving religion or religious icons knees jerk around the world. Everyone that wants one will still be given access to a bible anytime they want. I guess I just don't see what the BFD is.
