Faculty demand that University of Kansas sever ties with Chick-fil-A

GOPUSA: University of Kansas faculty, advocating for LGBTQ people on campus, are denouncing the school’s new relationship with Chick-fil-A restaurant chain and calling for a boycott.

Chick-fil-A had operated out of the basement of KU’s Wescoe Hall for 15 years, but this school year moved up to a prominent spot in the student union. In addition, the restaurant secured a sponsorship — the newly created “Chick-fil-A Coin Toss” at the start of every Jayhawks home football game for the next several years.

“KU granted Chick-fil-A, a bastion of bigotry, a prime retail location in the heart of our campus,” KU’s Sexuality & Gender Diversity Faculty and Staff Council said in a letter sent this week to Chancellor Doug Girod, the provost’s office and the athletic department.

“Moving Chick-fil-A to the Union and granting it a role at the start of all home football games violates the feelings of safety and inclusion that so many of us have striven to create, foster, and protect on campus, and sends a message that the Union, KU Athletics, and the administration at large are more concerned about money and corporate sponsorship than the physical, emotional, and mental well being of marginalized and LGBTQ people.”

The council objects to the university relationship with Chick-fil-A because of the owner’s “history of supporting organizations that are hostile to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) people, families, and communities,” the letter said.

“The culture of Chick-fil-A fosters hate and discrimination on multiple levels. In short, Chick-fil-A on KU’s campus stands in direct contrast to the university’s mission of fostering a multicultural, inclusive environment.”

Chick-fil-A did not immediately respond to calls from The Star requesting comment.

Students across the country have petitioned and protested against having their chicken sandwiches and waffle fries served up on campus by Chick-fil-A.

The chain first came under fire in 2011 when it was reported that through its charity, WinShape, millions of dollars were donated to support anti-gay rights groups. Then in 2012, Dan Cathy, the conservative owner of the Atlanta-based fast-food chain, made public statements condemning same-sex marriage.

“We’re inviting God’s judgment on our nation when we shake our fist at him and say we know better than you as to what constitutes a marriage,” The Washington Post quoted Cathy as saying. “And I pray God’s mercy on our generation that has such a prideful, arrogant attitude that thinks we have the audacity to redefine what marriage is all about.” read more

  2. So the Faculty there, in a government institution, is openly anti Christian and wants to make that the official police of the University.

    Wonder how they feel about Islam?

  3. First:
    Chik-Fil-A,
    DO NOT RESPOND to The Star or any other DeMSM presstitutes. No matter what you say, you’ll be wrong (according to their twisted concepts)

    Two:
    The LibIdiots at KU don’t remember thier history, and are therefore doomed to repeat it. Remember the last call for a boycott on Chik-Fil-A? Business BOOMED! Obviously there were more conservatives who gave a shit, than Libtards. (but…..shhhhh…….don’t tell them. it’s SO much fun to watch them trip all over themselves and their SJW virtue signalling)

  5. I’m offended that they’re offended.
    Their offensiveness offends me more than Chick-Fil-A’s offensive chicken sandwiches offend me.
    Chick-Fil-A should hire none but fags (without gloves and spit protection) to prepare the food at KU and see how offended the offensively offending students are. Let em spread AIDS and other assorted STDs throughout the campus through the misuse of food prep.

  6. “…In short, Chick-fil-A on KU’s campus stands in direct contrast to the university’s mission of fostering a multicultural, inclusive environment.”

    Do not ever submit to this lie. They do not want multiculturalism and inclusion; they want a monoculture governed by Leftist Orthodoxy and they want to silence and destroy all who do not comply with it.

    Then java script won’t work.
    See how that works.
    90% Fixed.
    They have lied about IT from Day Zero.

    All of them.
    Conspiracy theory, right?

  19. One thing the Left is very good at is defining the terms of battle. I was listening to Larry Arnn’s speech at one of their conferences, “American Politics and the American Constitution”, in which he gives a bare-knuckled defense of liberty; probably in the most forceful way I’ve ever heard him speak. The point that sticks with me is when he said that (and I’m going to mangle it in paraphrase) when they go after us — those of us who want to conserve the Constitution — by insisting that we respond and interact with them solely as they wish to be responded to and interacted with, they are fundamentally changing the social and cultural landscape and, more importantly, the power structure of social relations. Through the courts and through unelected bureaucracies that spring up to regulate and enforce their demands, they are changing the law itself under our Constitution. And there’s no end in sight.

    Another point he makes, well worth considering, is in his example of Churchill’s response to a question of what he would call WWII. Churchill said, “That’s easy. The unnecessary war.” See, Churchill understood all too well that if he and others had been free to act, they could have dispensed with Hitler back in the mid-’30s and avoided Germany’s advance across Europe altogether. And Arnn’s point in this is not simply a history lesson as he applies it to contemporary America.

    It’s a fabulous speech — one of Arnn’s best, I think.

  25. There are 10 Chik-fil-A’s in Kansas, all in eastern Kansas, 5 near Wichita (guess why)…….Kansas State University and Wichita State University both have one on campus….Lawerence Kansas and Boulder Colorado have much in common….

  26. I will never support a McDonalds ever but I don’t try to deny them opening a business.

    It’s Stalinists all the way down with these apparatchiks.

    Maybe that can be the name of the restaurant so they can support it.

    ApparatChik-Fil-A!

    Eat equal amounts of chicken, comrades.

    You can order a number 1, a 5 or a 9 but all have same price.

    Wash it down with a People’s Lemonade. As bitter as your sophomore Gramsci disciple sociology professor.

    The line around the building will be twice as long and when you get to the window they are out of everything and the stockroom is bare.

  29. the university’s mission of fostering a multicultural, inclusive environment.

    Uhm, you don’t foster an inclusive environment by kicking people out of that environment. You foster it by allowing everyone in, especially those people you disagree with, to find common ground and learn about each other’s differences.

    Schools aren’t teaching kids howto have a conversation with people they disagree with. They are out to silence any opinion that differs from their own. The schools are forcing people to make a binary choice about groups or individuals. You can flowchart their interaction with society, it follows an algorithm. But that’s not how social interactions work in the real world. Ever hear the phrase keep your friends close and your enemies closer? Kids today will not understand what that means or how to interact with any enemy, rather make a dash for the nearest safe space the instant an enemy steps in the room. Funny how the school acts like chickens running from a wolf when it’s dead and prepared yummy chicken they are running from.

  30. Chic’-Fil-A will prevail. I used to work near the location in Sandy Utah where all this idiocy began. For a few weeks it was the best entertainment in town. The activists were made to look like fools and children. The more noise they made the longer the lines were. Let them excrete their filth. They have already lost.

  31. Thanks…
    You made me start thinking about their grilled chicken sandwich and fries. I’m gonna treat my crew to lunch at Chick-Fil_A today…
    We’re going inside cause the drive-up lanes are always very full here in Brighton, CO. LOL! 🙂

  32. Abigail Adams, good post, their use of lawfare is legendary, this is why they are up in arms over Ginsberg leaving. The lib sites I troll are literally not figuratively shitting their pants and they are actively politically working to get the number of judges on the SC changed. We have let the left legislate
    From the bench long enough.

  33. Does everyone realize all this hate has bee generated by Chik-filet simply stating they support traditional marriage?
    Never anything specifically against degenerates at all.
    This is all manufactured-all of it.
