Attention student and teachers.... Starbucks coffee will no longer be served as wake-up juice at Greenville's Bob Jones University.
Why you ask? The school's constituency began to object to Starbucks' stance on gays several months ago.
BJU spokesman Jonathan Pait said "They were supportive of homosexual events and causes. That would be a problem for our constituency." The issue surfaced from quotes on a coffee cup Starbucks sells from a man who supports a gay lifestyle. The university has a longstanding stance against homosexuality among other things. (That's a whole different story)
Pait said saying Starbucks coffee "was banned" is too strong. He said it's permissible to bring the coffee on campus.
