While not as politically active as other campuses, Dartmouth has its share of overtly political messages expressed by groups that are subsidized by the College. Last Spring, the Collis TV lounge featured Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgendered family portraits. There is a double standard, some students argue, where the Committee on Student Organizations will not fund religious groups, but will find groups with an ideological agenda, however contentious. Other students object to the use of their dollars to support the political activities of the Conservative Union at Dartmouth or the Young Democrats. Ideas should be able to stand up on their own.
Truth can stand for itself.
