Opinion of Sandra Fluke

[Lief 🗽]

Being anti-contraception is hardly integral to the Jesuit identity.

Really the only remaining "Catholic identity" that exists at Georgetown is crucifixes in every classroom, marketing catchphrases, and the anti-contraception/anti-abortion rules that required our pro-choice club to be unrecognized by the school (though they were still allowed to hand out free condoms). Also we have to take two theology courses, with no requirement that either of them be about Christianity. But this anti-contraception stuff has always been a pretty transparent attempt by the administration to hang on to some Catholic street cred so that the crusty old Catholic donors don't completely abandon the school. And this was just my undergrad experience. I suspect the law school is even more secular.
