Regardless of the merits of the issue, the company decided to get involved in politics by backing certain groups that are very politically active. Those politics don't jive with the students viewpoints, so the students got rid of them.
The company will certainly be fine without the college, and vice versa. Both entities made their free choices. I don't see what the big deal is.
NO, the students are forcing their views on free eneterprise, and forcing their beliefs on the entire student body.
Chik-Fil-A did nothing illegal or immoral, but they don't agree with them, and if you don't believe what I believe (the motto of tolerance) than you SHALL be punished. The students had no LEGAL authority to ban a business that (I would assume) had a legal contract to provide a service to the school.
If they can do it on campus where does it stop?? Where else do the "agree with me our else" clan plan on getting away with it, and where would you draw the line to say, enough stupidity already.
I think it would be GREAT if they came back and sued the school for lost revenue for the life of the contract, plus damages.. and named the student council as a defendant (they do, afterall, have money).
OR maybe, being an unsafe zone for business, maybe ALL the resaurants on campus should leave and leave the students eating whatever garbage they can get from a student run cafeteria.
