The DNews has a new opinion piece from Hal Boyd with a take on the infamous chant from some USC students last Saturday and USC’s apology: “No Offensive Chant Will Break the Century-Long Bond Between USC and Latter-day Saints.” Link:



Interesting article, BUT he winds it up with this reprise of his recent opinion piece tsk-tsk-ing a chant at BYU:

“ It [USC’s apology] was a classy move, and a further testament that the bonds nearly a century in the making can’t be broken in a single night.

“Of course, this doesn’t mean students can’t improve or be taught a better way at places like USC, BYU, or beyond. . . . .

“ At BYU, this includes eliminating “Let’s go Brandon” chants. And, at USC, perhaps fewer expletives aimed at “those Mormons.” Or, if that’s a bridge too far, maybe start by getting our preferred name right (members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints).”

It even includes a link to his recent schoolmarmish diatribe!
