Nat's and Easter

[Steve Woods <woodss@william.jewell.edu>]

Hey All,

It seems that Nat's has accomodated Easter services and religious views by 
having time for worship, silent meditation, personal retrospect, so the real 
issue is people don't want to travel on Easter weekend because it takes them 
away from their families.  Not Unique.  It seems that the calls about 
discrimination ignore the fact that time has been accounted for Christian
views, go to a church service before rounds on Sunday.  If Easter means no 
other activity can occur on that day, I guess I didn't get the memo.  

It doesn't seem that religon is the problem here, that has been accounted 
for.  The issue is how people interact with their families.  There will 
always be priorities in life, I leave my wife and newborn son far too much in 
my opinion EVERY debate travel weekend.  I respect the choices of others who 
prioritize their families, but I don't see CEDA as discriminatory on this 
issue.  I don't want to say "grow up" to people with conflicts, because it is 
not a question of maturity.  There is something very valuable about family 
bonds, but I don't think making a personal issue political by labeling it 
religious discrimination clarifies either issue.

At the same denominationally based college as Gina,
Steve Woods
