OK, people, I am sick of hearing the students and faculty of the private school known as BYU bashing it and protesting it. You people are students and employees of a private school, you knew this when you decided to study and work there. At a private school, you don't have First Amendment rights as you would, say, at Utah State University or the University of Utah.
At BYU everyone signs a contract with the school, I think they call it an honor code. At a private school, they can teach and order teachers to teach whatever the owners of the school want taught. If you people who are attending or teaching at BYU don't like their policies, please leave school and go to a state-run university or quit your jobs and leave Utah.Now for the Rodin exhibit, remember this exhibit is at a private museum, so if the owner of this museum decides not to show a few pieces of the Rodin collection, so be it. This is a choice everyone should live with, quietly. If Rodin was coming to the University of Utah or Utah State and this happened, then I'd say protest to the highest degree, but this is BYU.
If Notre Dame, SMU, Stanford, Harvard or any other private school did the same as BYU did, good, they are private and can do whatever they want. All in all, if you don't like being a student or faculty member at BYU, then stop being there and go to a state-run school, but don't complain about it because you knew what you were getting into when you decided to go there.
