"I think Calvin College represents a more centrist place on the spectrum than perhaps some other places," said Borgdorff, who has met with Bush as a board member for the faith-based Call to Renewal anti-poverty movement. "He knows better than to assume every Christian college is associated with the religious right. The president is interested in being perceived as a religious moderate, not a religious extreme." ................

Bingo.
It should say something that so many of the faculty placed an ad in the paper. I was pleasantly suprised to see students at the graduation with anti-Bush statements on their cap and gown along side Pro-Bush statments. Both had their place there, and both had the right to be there derived from the students paying for their attendence.
To put that another way, the students foot the bill, so they can make whatever statements they want, and I was glad to see both ends of the spectrum, as well as the center, represented.
This is a great example of everyone making a stand without having to stoop to low political blows. (And I mean that positivley fror all sides.)
