Amy Coney Barrett

[NYCMS]

This post is neither in favor or against Amy Coney Barrett. It is in response to the alums banding together to oppose her nomination - which I think everyone and every group has the right to do, I'm all for using one's voice.

I was curious specifically what they think she has done that goes against the school values and from what I've read, it is linked to political views...that they oppose her for being pro-life, for being against the ACA, etc., etc. For many who are pro-life, then she represents commitment to service and loyalty beyond all. If you're pro-choice, then you will look at this very differently.

Again, this is not yeah or nay for her, but I do think it's important to look at what they're talking about when being against her. Perhaps there is more out there that would detail why she's unworthy of this post but so far it seems aligned with political viewpoints. If anyone can find something that goes beyond that, I'd appreciate it being posted.

Believe me, there are ASA sisters I would sign a petition against in a heartbeat. But when it comes to one of my chapter sisters that I had the power to discipline her or vote on her termination, it makes me look complicit. Either that or I could say “Ann has changed a great deal since our college days. I hold fond memories of our years at State U, but I do not agree with the views she holds now.”

I have no idea if ABCBC has these same views in school, but if she did and people who were friends with her are now throwing her under the bus because it’s chic to do so, it’s beyond hypocritical.

Yes, yes, and yes!
