Townhall.com's Freeper In Charge Says CAP Not Racist And Sexist
Edited on Thu Jan-12-06 08:19 AM by DistressedAmerican
I guess Mr. Eastman didn't bother to listen to Kennedy's many quotes from their newsletter that went way beyond a call for a return to "old Princeton". These guys are getting desperate....

Truth Check on Concerned Alumni for Princeton
Jan 10 2006 09:21 PM

By JohnEastman

Senator Biden got the call to grill Judge Alito on his affiliation with the long-defunct Concerned Alumni for Princeton ("CAP") organization, which has been accused of being anti-black, anti-woman, and even anti-Jew. The latter charge, made on air today by Erwin Chemerinski, is apparently based on the fact that some in the organization touted the group's mission as seeking a return to the "old Princeton." Apparently, a really, really old Princeton, like many Ivy League schools, had a despicable cap on admission of Jewish students. But no one has produced a shred of evidence to suggest that CAP ever supported a Jewish quota. In fact, what got campus liberals so incensed about the group was that it opposed racial quotas of any kind--that's the source of the anti-black charge. And the anti-woman charge? It is apparently based on two grounds. First, the "old Princeton" was, at one point, single sex, so the alumni group's devotion to the "old Princeton" is said to be, impliedly, support for abolition of the coed move of the University. And the other--CAP dared to support continuation of the all-male eating clubs/fraternities (and also the all-female sororities), which ran afoul of the radical feminist political correctness on campus at the time. This was hardly the neanderthal organization that Senator Biden claimed it to be, but in any event, Judge Alito apparently paid his membership fee and subscribed to the group's newsletter because it supported keeping ROTC on campus. Now there's a disqualifying position for any federal judge--actually do something to help defend the freedoms we prize in this country!

Dr. John C. Eastman is Professor of Law and Director of The Claremont Institute Center for Constitutional Jurisprudence.
=====================================================

I guess banning women from certain organizations on campus is no problem for Mr. Eastman. Anyone that talks of "radical feminist political correctness" has no business even discussing sexism. We already know where this asshat stands, on the side of keeping women out.

1. And how many Italian-American Roman Catholics were
admitted to the "old Princeton?"
