#1: “UJM there are bochurim in the closet in yeshivas. I heard stories that I won’t get into. So if you don’t think that there are bochurim struggling with this Yetzer Hara in the Daled Koslos of the best yeshivas, you just don’t have your finger on the pulse of where society is. Not everyone in YU agrees that there should be this club.

Legally today, if someone sued a Beis Midrash program that is an AARTS program or getting government funds that they don’t grant people certain rights, they would also be sued.”

There are also bochorim that break Shabbos, there are bochorim that steal and there are bochorim that eat in a non-kosher restaurant when traveling away from Jewish population centers. Do you know of any Yeshiva with a Mechallel Shabbos Club, a Treif Tasting Club or a Thieves Club? How on earth can you justify or excuse any so-called “Yeshiva” tolerating for even one second (let alone funding!!) any club celebrating terrible sins?!?

“Not everyone in YU agrees that there should be this club.”!!? Are you blazing kidding us?! “Oh, some people in YU think we shouldn’t celebrate terrible sins even if others in YU (including students and the administration) do think we should celebrate and tolerate it.” That’s what you just said.

If a law is passed that universities must teach the New Testament, will YU start giving Shiurim on Yushke Pundrik?
Will they start having mandatory courses on Matthew, Mark and Luke, in accordance with the law?! “Bochorim, you must make sure you pass the next bechina on John the Baptist, Pontius Pilate and Paul of Tarsus if you hope to get a degree or smicha from Yeshiva University. Otherwise we could lose our government funding or even get sued.”
