Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee Chair Robert Torricelli, senator of New Jersey, said he will introduce a resolution condemning Bob Jones University, which bans interracial dating and, he said, promotes anti-Catholic teachings. Torricelli said, “There are many of us who are not going to remain silent when the reputation of the Catholic Church and the actions of Catholics are being disparaged.” While Republican presidential candidate George Bush has come under fire for kicking off his South Carolina campaign at the school, Democrats have now criticized Republican Senator John Ashcroft of Missouri, Congress member Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, and Arkansas Congress member Asa Hutchinson for receiving honorary degrees from the university in May. All three lawmakers say they disagree with the school’s racial and religious policies. Hutchinson attended the school as an undergraduate, along with his brother, Arkansas Senator Tim Hutchinson.
