To the Penn community,
In response to the Westboro Baptist Church coming to Hillel this morning, different communities from across our campus have come together to turn an execrable message into a positive rallying point in our community.
Today is a monumental occasion in Penn’s history; regardless of whether the Westboro Baptist Church actually comes, our diverse population has united as one in order to show that, despite our differences, there are certain things that we as rational individuals will not tolerate.
In order to claim today as a victory for compassion over hatred, empathy over bigotry, and diversity over insularity, we encourage you to come show your solidarity. We will be collecting money to support the Anti-Defamation League and the Matthew Shepard Foundation.
With love and in solidarity,
Hillel, Lambda Alliance and PRISM

How far have we come since the Plague?
Interestingly, yesterday on a lazy Sunday I was watching a history channel program about the Plague and how the Jews were targeted during the 1300s and massacred due to the unfounded belief that they caused the millions of plague deaths. I guess it was "understandable" seeing how backward society was back then that they would target Jews (who always seem to be targeted by the ignorant), but one would think in this day and age of 2009, we would have moved beyond such primitive hatred for not only Jews, but for gays, and others. I guess those who call themselves members of the Westboro Baptist group never evolved with the rest of us.....
Does the WB group have a chapter at the UN?
It is profoundly sad to see history repeating itself. The baptist, President Jimmy Carter, likely goes to this church.
On a somewhat related subject...when the world goes mad organizations like the Westboro one and the following one seem to thrive:
