Wizard: Your statements that DLS "is designed to discriminate" is a horrible misrepresentation of the school. I attended DLS. De La Salle is private and so you're correct, it may limit its admission and certainly does so based on aptitude, testing and a variety of factors. We both know that doing so does NOT constitute discrimination. Further you claim that discrimination may take other forms....well no, it cant. Policy positions and religious beliefs are not in and of themselves "discrimination" no matter how fervently you disagree with them. You advance NO evidence that DLS has engaged in anything remotely approaching discrimination, but blanket statements to that effect sure fits nicely in the stereotype of "biased and hateful Catholic school". I would even agree with you on one point. I dont think the school should be allowed to prohibit a GLBT sporting event on park land. However, when would the organization of this event cross the line from a soccer game to a political event which the site is not designed for and the use is not contemplated in the agreement? It appears, based on your statement, that you would care less what sport was being played. You might even "forget" the bats and gloves on gameday, as long as you got to poke a stick at the Catholic Church. Shameful. I've said before I think there's a right way and a wrong way to handle this debate. I am compelled by arguments on both sides, but I obviously support the plan. Your post, coupled with your earlier post this week arguing (incorrectly) that the land might be turned over wholly to DLS after a number of years, I think your scare tactics are the wrong way to discuss this topic.
