The young know better in lesbian brouhaha at Marquette

An inventive singer-songwriter named Peter Case who likes to play with words wrote a great line: â??We were too young not to know better.â?

At issue was the action by Marquette President Father Robert Wild rescinding a job offer to Seattle University professor Jodi Oâ??Brien, who was recruited by Marquette to become dean of its College of Arts and Sciences.
