Vassar vs WBC - Postmortem

The picketing of Vassar College by Westboro Baptist Church and the Vassar counter-protest occurred on the final day of last month.  The protest by WBC appears to have been part of a larger swing through New York and included picketing memorial services for General H Normal Schwarzkopf at West Point.  However, "only" four protesters showed up at Vassar from the church.  It would appear that Vassar's showing of love was far greater.  How could it not be?



You can see my original post on the protest here.  The Crowd Rise site mentioned in the coverage is still active and has raised over $103,000 to date for The Trevor Project.

Nicely done, VC!
