Then there is the matter of the group's funding. As The Crimson reported last year, AFARM has received roughly $500 in grants from the Office of the Arts and $300 from the Undergraduate Council.
I have several questions: Should a group whose idea of "art" is a really bad play script about gay rights receive money from the Office of the Arts?
Should a highly politicized group like AFARM be supported by the Undergraduate Council, which claims to represent all Harvard students? And should an organization that is basically one big joke by Harvard gays receive Council funding when other student organizations engaged in worthwhile pursuits and public service get little or no funding?
As Oppenheimer explained, his group is "waging general guerrilla warfare against AALARM in about as...plucky a way as you can when confronting Nazism."
His word choice reminds me of the last time I heard the word "pluck." It was in that cinematic classic "Ferris Bueller's Day Off," when a nurse visits the Bueller household to cheer up the allegedly sick Ferris.
"I'm here to restore you pluck, 'cause I'm the nurse who likes to..."
Along these lines, the new motto of AFARM should be:
"We fight morality with lots of pluck, 'cause we're some students who like to..."
