Gay and Lesbian Hate Crimes Being Committed at Idaho Law

In Hate Abounds at University of Idaho College of Law, ATL's Elie Mystal is reporting a series of distrubing actions against the gay and lesbian community in the College of Law building, including defacing pictures and placing threaten flyers on bulletin boards that quote individuals advocating violence against gays and lesbians. The College of Law administration is taking action, including, according to Mystal's report, alerting federal authorities to the potentially dangerous situation.

 No one knows who the perpetrators are so there is no evidence to conclude that it involves Idaho law school students but, as Mystral writes, "If the perpetrators are actual law students, I think Idaho has a moral obligation to try to find these people — before they leave school with a J.D. and clean character and fitness marks. Details in Mystal's ATL post. [JH]
