They can kick them off campus, but that just makes them an underground Christian group. Throughout history there has been NO BETTER WAY to cause the gospel to flourish than to push it underground. It will lead to meetings in homes and quiet meetings in dorms. I’m excited. Now there is no limit to the outreach.
It is ridiculous to think that authentic Christianity can abide by the rules of a pagan organization, and according to Peter’s epistle, it is an honor when Christians are persecuted by it.

This is all true, and while most of “evangelism” seems to see “thou shalt never be rejected” as a commandment (while a few others go out of their way to make sure they get rejected), the issue here is that of exposing the intolerant duplicity of self-promoted “tolerant” pluralists, and seeking to maintain freedom which is supposed to be assured in accordance with just laws. Thus Paul while rejoiced in persecutions, yet he also exposed those who unjustly hindered gospel preaching and tried to cover it up, saying,

“They have beaten us openly uncondemned, being Romans, and have cast us into prison; and now do they thrust us out privily? nay verily; but let them come themselves and fetch us out. “ (Acts 16:37)

Carry on.
