NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Combine the centennial Yale-Dartmouth football game, a game handout intending to show fans an array of historic football programs plucked from the days when the Granite State's Ivy League member boasted an Indian as a mascot, along with the timing of Columbus Day weekend, and you've got conditions that are ripe for campus outrage.
A Yale Bulldog treeing an Indian after taking a chomp out of his sash depicted in a 1947 cover. A cover from 1944 showing a Yale football player lighting a match under another Indian, startling the adversary. Another cover from 1951 showing a cartoon-ish Indian running away from more Yalies.
BOSTON — A handful of Bay State churches have filed suit in federal court against the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination and Attorney General Maura Healey, claiming that they erred when they added houses of worship to the list of venues that must comply with the new transgender public accommodations law, or "bathroom bill."
The federal complaint states that requiring the churches to comply with the recently passed state statute "contradicts the churches' message about God's intention and purpose for human sexuality" and is forcing them to "speak a message that they do not want to speak; namely, that sex is fluid, that it is based on subjective experience, and that God approves of biological males using restrooms and showers with females, and vice versa."
