Let’s discuss right vs. wrong today, as it appears that a number of people have forgotten the difference. So here’s the skinny. Right is when you put others ahead of yourself. Right is when you ask for money nicely, without lying. Right is when you use the money that people donate to you wisely, showing good stewardship and frugality. Right is treating other people respectfully and lovingly, regardless of whether they are as pretty, intelligent, wealthy, succesful, or professional as you. Here is wrong: I hope I’m right in the front lines for it.
And so.
Wrong is when you choose results over people. Wrong is when you choose image and neglect lives. Wrong is choosing beautiful, grandiose buildings over helping kids in need. Wrong is pushing a small, unprofessional radio station out of the way so you can have yet another(and uneeded) translator. Wrong is promising mentorship to a small college radio station, and then making sure they are not on the air because they interfere with your new station.
Chris Stanley was not far off the mark with his last Xanga entry blasting Houghton College. Yes, the administration did lie to us, did misspend our money, did misrepresent what they’re doing with it. And sooner or later, people are going to realize what is going on, and they will have had enough.
I, personally, think the college is more likely to go bankrupt and fold before an actionable majority of those involved in it wise up. Although fallout from the Beach scandal may still yet have a real effect…
