From the article:
"[College President] Lindsay’s letter sparked an immediate backlash among students and faculty at Gordon College. A petition signed by 3,500 people demanded that Lindsay remove his name from the group letter and rescind his request."
While it doesn't surprise me in the least that there are Christian shitheads, like Lindsay, willing to jump on the Hobby Lobby ruling as an excuse to discriminate against others, I find it heartening that there are a significant number of people at that college willing to call him out on it. Who knows? It may prove to be the case that the only intolerance practiced at Gordon College is against the intolerant, and the Board of Regents and alumni might decide that this is too embarrassing to let slide.
I'd love to hear Lindsay explain this fiasco at his next job interview: "But Leviticus, Romans, and Scalia!"
