BYU's newspaper publishes letter critical of Prop 8's legality, then pulls it

Yesterday, a letter to the editor appeared in BYU's Daily Universe, laying bare the "indefensible" legal case for Prop 8. The writer, Cary Crall, suggested that Mormons who supported the proposition own up to their real reason for doing so.

I was very impressed, both with the letter, and with BYU for publishing it. Then I was disappointed when a few hours later, the link was no longer available.

Fortunately, Jon Adams was able to get Crall's permission to post the letter in its entirety on USU SHAFT's blog.

As Jon says, hopefully no disciplinary action comes against Crall for his honesty (or the editor who was brave enough to publish the letter), but should action be taken, I'm behind Crall.
