1) the rules of the Hasting in the relevant case were applied with strict neutrality. Hasting was quite clear that they would have denied student org status to a black student group not allowing KKK members to be leaders. (this is silly but it’s a separate matter)

2) Christian Legal Society was in no way “evaluated” because of their religious beliefs. a sports team that banned homosexuals would also have been denied student org status.

3) regardless, if you want to have complete freedom to do what you want, you should not go after federal or public money; If you accept public money you are already limiting what you can do.

I have no idea what historical event you are referring too. link?

The "Nor prohibiting the free exercise" part is what knocks your argument off the block.

Strict neutrality applies to the guv'mnt, not to the group. They get to be what they are when they deal with the guv'mnt, not something the guv'mnt wants but what they want.

Capice?
