It was an honor for the Boston College Republicans to host the Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson March 21. Peterson reached out to us a few months ago to let us know that he would be available and willing to come and speak on the topic of affirmative action. He also planned to address the Brown University Republicans in March, as well, which he did on the previous Tuesday.

Dear Father Leahy: After reading an article in The Heights regarding an appearance by the Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson at Boston College - an event sponsored by the BC Republicans and Young America's Foundation and presumably sanctioned by the administration - I was concerned that someone with his reputation and record of making controversial, if not detestable, remarks would speak here.

After taking some time to process my reaction, I have tried to pinpoint exactly what it is about this particular image that distressed me so much as I have seen hundreds of magazine covers exhibiting attractive young women dressed in next to nothing.
