College faculty chair compares Chick-fil-A to 'pornography'

The vice chair of Cal Poly San Luis Obispo's academic senate likened popular fast-food chain Chick-fil-A to "pornography" as the faculty body voted overwhelmingly to kick the restaurant off campus after 25 years, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.
"We don't sell pornography in the bookstore, and we don't have a Hooters on campus — we already pre-select those kind of things based on our existing values," Thomas Gutierrez told student publication Mustang News. "This is a similar thing. The difference is we're actually profiting from this. So our money, every dollar a student is spending at Chick-fil-A, is going to these causes that are in violation of our values."
Mustang News — citing left-wing outfit Think Progress — said the "Chick-fil-A Foundation donated more than $1.8 million to groups with a history of anti-LGBTQ discrimination in 2017."
The Tuesday vote to oust Chick-fil-A was a landslide of sorts, with 38 of 44 academic senators wanting to get rid of the restaurant, the Chronicle said.
Despite the demands of the faculty representatives, it doesn't appear Cal Poly San Luis Obispo is in any rush to bow to them.
"While university administration passionately disagrees with the values of some of the organizations the president of Chick-fil-A has chosen to make personal donations to, we do not believe in responding to intolerance with intolerance," university spokesman Matt Lazier told KSBY-TV. "Rather, we must model our values of inclusion — that means upholding the rights of others to have different perspectives and ensuring there is space in our community for differing viewpoints and ideologies, even those that may be in direct conflict with our own."
The school and Chick-fil-A signed a 5-year contract extension in 2018.
Chick-fil-A has been enduring left-wing attacks for years. But it seems that as the punches increase in number and intensity, the success of the franchise just keeps increasing: To wit, Chick-fil-A just became the third-largest restaurant chain in America, behind McDonald's and Starbucks.
But some folks are nevertheless doing their darndest to keep Chick-fil-A down:
- Pittsburgh's school board last October barred district employees and its schools from officially participating in a kids' run sponsored by Chick-fil-A due to support of traditional marriage at the restaurant's corporate level.
- New Jersey's Rider University last November barred the restaurant from coming on campus because its "corporate values have not sufficiently progressed enough to align with those of Rider."
- A college student environmental group in January referred to Chick-fil-A as a "white supremacist, imperialist, capitalist" cult and demanded that the University of Georgia ban it.
- The city of San Antonio in March banned Chick-fil-A from its airport over the restaurant's "legacy of anti-LGBTQ" behaviors, and the Buffalo Niagara International Airport pulled a similar move just days later.
- An angry San Jose City Council placed LGBTQ flags all around the city's airport — where a Chick-fil-A is opening this month — in hopes of making it the "gayest Chick-fil-A in the country," according to one member, to rail against the restaurant's supposed "anti-LGBT stance."

Haven't Chick-fil-A's sales skyrocketed over the last several years?

More hysteria from the Left. The Left is one giant collective 12 year old girl.

It's about time to start making colleges neutral on politics. At least the public ones, private ones can do what they want.
While you're at it, stop the student loans program on shitty majors.

I'd like to know what specific Christian values they oppose?
Honoring father and mother?
Not lying?
Not stealing?
Not murdering?
Not coveting?

Mmmmm, think I'll go get a sandwich from chick-fil-a right now to tick off the leftist commies.

You know what’s funny?
Chick-fil-a could probably come out as actually being anti-gay (they’re not) and their profits wouldn’t take any noticeable dip. People are just always going to eat where the food and service are good, politics be damned.

I just said this the other day but it bears repeating. Imagine being so miserable that you get this triggered by a dude who sold chicken sammiches just because he spoke in support of traditional marriage.
Thank God I am not a liberal, what a totally fricked up warped miserable existence that must be.

You didn't have the lines around the block at every single Chick Fil A until the controversy a few years ago. People didn't go because they're anti gay, they went to spite the Left for what they were trying to do to a business for having a Christian owner who believes in Christianity. But when they went they realized how good the quality and service really was. So they kept going.
If you recall the Left entertainment was making all kinds of jokes at the time about CFA stock going under. In reality their boycott was the greatest thing that ever happened to the company

That's offensive to 12 year old girls.

Well, I can’t speak for where you’re at.
But here? People were jamming Chick-fil-a’s around here for years before the controversy. It’s just a well-run franchise with a solid business model. It always has been.
And imagine what their numbers would look like if they opened on Sundays. They’d leave McDonalds in the dust.

Chickfila is a proxy for Jesus christ and almighty God. That's what these idiots are really fighting against.
