Did you have this much angst when democrats were pushing the state of Michigan to install foot baths in State Universities for muslims at public expense?[/quote]

1. Student fees, not tax dollars, paid for the foot baths.

2. The university, not Democrats, pushed for this.  Students were using regular sinks, which were getting pulled away from the wall and causing water damage to the bathrooms.

3. Using bathroom sinks is unhygienic and dangerous for students who have to balance on one foot on a slippery tile floor.

4. At any university, school funds go towards providing services that not everyone uses.  Hillel and kosher meals for Jewish students.  The Catholic Campus ministry for Catholic students.  LGBTQ for LGBTQ students, and so on.  In this case, the foot baths are available to everyone.  Many non-Muslim students have expressed interest in using them, such as athletes.

5. “Democrats” and “Muslims” should be capitalized.  We know you’re not uneducated because you were careful to capitalize Michigan and State Universities.  Are you doing this subconsciously out of disrespect?

6. Always get the full story before forming an opinion.  Right wing outrage bait simplifies everything and is lying to you.[/quote]

Student fees did not pay for them. The government did. That's why the ACLU brought it to court.[/quote]

Every single source I’ve read says the university planned to tap into student fees to pay for them.  And no, the ACLU didn’t bring it to court.  In fact, the ACLU of Michigan issued a statement: “Indeed, if the university refused to allow Muslim students to wash their feet in the sink without there being a viable alternative, we would have concerns about whether the university was unconstitutionally interfering with students’ right to practice their religion.”[/quote]
