A staffer at the University of St. Thomas sent over this list of names gleaned from yesterday’s posts on BodyTalk about the flap at the law school. For those who haven’t read it, the story was about the law school dean’s decision not to allow a student to volunteer at Planned Parenthood for her public service requirement.

It inspired quite a discussion, not all of it complimentary, and some of the best creative name calling I’ve seen since Lenny Bruce.

  The exercise of free speech is not always pretty.

Someone pointed out, correctly, that the photo on top of the post is of the St. Thomas St. Paul campus and the law school is in Minneapolis. Noted. The correct building is pictured here.

Roger said in his post that “the media is liberal and the Strib is actively liberal. This article is more of the variety of ‘See look at this. Can you believe they think this way?’ Its a hit job.”

I wrote the story on the blog because the situation had clearly incited controversy among the students, yet another in a series of controversies at St. Thomas that have all made headlines. It wasn’t a hit job, it was inherently interesting. Clearly, I’m not the only one who thought so.

Maybe now I’ll move onto something less inherently interesting like vitamins.

Tara Borton, a first year law student at the University of St. Thomas School of Law, thought Planned Parenthood was a fine place to fulfill the public service requirement for graduation. She was set to start there on May 12.
