This undated photo provided by Alqasem family shows Lara Alqasem, a 22-year-old American graduate student with Palestinian grandparents, who landed at Ben-Gurion Airport Tuesday, Oct. 2 with a valid student visa. But she was barred from entering the country and ordered deported, based on suspicions that she supports the BDS boycott movement. An Israeli court ordered that she remain in custody while she appeals. The weeklong detention is the longest anyone has been held in a boycott-related case. (Alqasem family via AP)

Letter: Freedom of speech irony

August 09, 2012 12:00 AM
In response to 'Chick-fil-rights?' (8/7): the owner of Chick-fil-A donated several million dollars to organizations defending 'traditional marriage.' Many supporters of gay marriage were incensed by the actions of Chick-fil-A and expressed their concern by calling for boycotts of the company. Many conservatives, on the other hand, decided to have a 'Chick-fil-a Appreciation Day.' Now there have been accusations of bigotry against conservatives who support 'traditional marriage.'
