THE staff position has wrongly applied an ideological taxonomy to an issue which evades such simple and hackneyed labels as "moderate" and "conservative." Groups such as the Association Against Learning in the Absence of Religion and Morality (AALARM) and Peninsula are not representative of modern intellectual conservatism. Instead, they espouse a religious-based ideology that too often disregards the other foundations of social conservatism, such as universal respect for human dignity, which transcend religious doctrine. For example, many opponents of abortion are neither Christian nor religious.
Furthermore, the comments and actions of Republican Club president Sumner E. Anderson '92 have disturbed many campus right-wingers who, although "socially conservative," are nonetheless tolerant and respectful of other viewpoints. In using such simplified labels, the staff inaccurately portrays the campus right as a monolithic bloc of "political demagogues."
