Chick-fil-A: Unintentional endorsement?

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/02/opinion/let-chick-fil-a-fly-free.html

Attached is what looks to be an unintentional endorsement for free speech from a Georgia Tech dean who happens to be gay. This is the type of discourse that a company under attack welcomes freely. Not all the echo chamber appreciation and kiss in days that media salivate over.

A couple months ago, a disillusioned manager at Goldman Sachs named Greg Smith issued a similar op-ed complaining about the firm's culture. It was like a shot heard across the world. It should be interesting to see if the dean's comments about Chick-fil-A travel as far and wide.
