Long and thoughtful doesn't preclude something from being a rant. I also didn't refer to that particular article as hateful (though OSC has been hateful in other rants).

As for this school situation: obviously, I disagree with the RCC's position and the school's actions, but I don't know why you think I or most people on the opposite side of the divide from you would endorse threats of violence against them. Obviously, I do not.

I am curious to know whether this school also expels students whose parents are discovered to be adulterers, divorced, etc., though.
