Yeshiva Hosts Panel of Intolerant Bigots
SATIRE
February 28, 2010
Last Sunday, four brave figures emerged before a 700-person throng in Weissberg Commons to discuss their struggles growing up in the YU world as active, practicing bigots. The audience listened intently to the heart-wrenching stories of two racists, a homophobe, and a terrorist. "My friends were always so...so...accepting," said one panelist. "They were always helping out others in need, going to gay panels, recycling—that kinda stuff. But all I ever wanted to do was learn Torah." Many present at the panel said the event changed their lives, giving them a wholly new perspective, but don't actually think they're going to now do anything different. All but two Roshei Yeshiva signed a letter guaranteeing the four panelists copious Olam Haba, adding that any MYP students who attended the event will have their past shiur Incompletes changed to A's.
