...closing, I just wish to congratulate Adam Webb and the members of AALARM on their crack investigative work; it's about time somedody brought this dirty little secret to light. Behind that innocuous-looking blue door lies a Hillel in a handbasket. Especially shameful is the organization's insistence on masquerading as a group dedicated to upholding an ethical and moral tradition. These P.C. inquisitors are on the lookout to attack anyone who disagrees with them, accusing them of racism, sexism, ageism, and anything else they can think of, regardless of Truth. It's about time we attacked back. Jennifer...
This past week, AALARM has revealed its true colors and shattered the myths about its goals that it has spread across campus. AALARM tells us that they are being oppressed by a mindless P.C. mindset which brands any opposition as Politically Uncorrect. Yet when Harvard-Radcliffe Hillel condemned AALARM's recent anti-BGLAD postering campaign, an AALARM leader referred to Hillel as a "political, P.C. hack group." That defines it. If you disagree with AALARM, you are a "political, P.C. hack group...

AALARM claims they are being oppressed, and in the same breath they want to outlaw those with whom they disagree...
Part of the value of "Community" (which AALARM claims to vigorously defend) is sensitivity to other members within the community. AALARM owes an apology not just to Hillel, not just to BGLSA, not just to the students these groups represent, but to the entire Harvard community. Its deceitful and bigoted actions are an affront to us all. Ron Fein '94 Harvard/Radcliffe Democrats
...when a non-Christian religious group breaks away from AALARM's vision of Christian morality, Webb and DeGiorgio try to appropriate what they dare not condemn--a different religion. The idea that AALARM can lecture members of a different religious tradition on their duty to AALARM's morality is positively revolting. It is oppressive. It is culturally imperialistic...
