“Holland’s talk almost appeared to be channeling Young’s; the only real difference between the two is in which group the speakers chose to dehumanize,” writes Blair in Midvale.
By Blair Bateman | The Public Forumof SUU’s decision to invite Jeffery Holland as a commencement speaker after Holland’s anti-gay speech to BYU faculty in 2021:in 1852, as reported by The Tribune recently. Young said, “What we’re trying to do today in advocating for Black voting rights is to make Black people equal with us . . . I will be opposed to that all day long.”
Holland’s talk almost appeared to be channeling Young’s; the only real difference between the two is in which group the speakers chose to dehumanize. In effect, Holland seemed to be saying: “What we’re trying to do today in advocating for gays to be able to speak in public is to make gay people equal with us. I will be opposed to that all the day long.”
When university officials display indifference toward basic human values, students have every right to speak up. I applaud SUU students for doing so.
