wow.
I’m going to go demand to be put in charge of the Muslim group. :)
Slooooooly the frog in the water is being boil to death.
This school is a state school and exists by statute, correct? If so, a simple vote of the legislature to eliminate all funding, or the school itself, should be threatened. Which party controls the legislature?
Right?
I don’t see the point in telling a Christian group they can’t have Christian bylaws. Who but a Christian would want to join such a thing.
If this is the same case I’ve been following, I’m not sure why CLS is not naming the group— it’s already been publicly stated that it’s the local Intervarsity Christian Fellowship chapter. They’re an Evangelical Protestant parachurch group, and the officials at Vandy have been lying to them from day one.

The good news is this: Many Vanderbilt alumni (who are continually being dunned for more money) have made it clear that they will contribute nothing further, until and unless Vanderbilt rescinds this rancid, politically correct policy.
The admin is right, a “personal commitment to Jesus Christ” is a little weak. I suggest replacing the phrase with “a life lived for the glory of the triune God with an absolute love and devotion to Him including striving to love Him with all their heart, all their soul, all their mind and all their strength and an acknowledgement that all things exist by Christ, for Him and to Him, He has all power and authority and is their all in all”. -— Yes that is much better!
This is what Vanderbilt wrote to the head of the Muslim Brotherhood Chapter:
“Your constitution says that a member must have a personal commitment to Mohammed and to jihad.
Initially, we asked that those words be removed.
Since you have threatened to cut off our heads and sell our children into slavery, we have decided that it is absolutely OK to keep that requirement in your student chapter constitution.
Carry on.”
Which 1s more important, religious freedom or non-discrimination?
There will always be discrimination of some sort or another. Can I join the university woman’s softball team, since there is no men’s softball team. Can I join a sorority, if I am a guy? Can I use the men’s restroom if I am a woman? Can the Catholic group be forced to accept a Hindu as its president?
Wasn’t Vanderbilt established by a Christian church?
Students, parents and alumni should strike back with the only thing these atheists understand - money. Run, don’t walk, to a schol that doesn’t persecute Christians. Withhold contributions. Pay tuition to another school.
Watch the conversion rate among the atheists when they suddenly lose a million dollars, two million and five million.
There should be wholesale firings and replacement of the entire Administration over this fscist nonsense. Surely many if us are sick & tired of this crap!

This is what passes for higher education in our country today.
Telling a Christian organisation that they cannot force members to believe in Christ.
Matthew 10:33
English Standard Version (ESV)
33 but whoever denies me before men, I also will deny before my Father who is in heaven.
Welcome to the USSA, comrades, where The State is the only allowable God.

How far our once-noble Christian institutions have fallen...
Sad to see...
RECOMMENDATION:
Sniff around a little...
...findout which desk-jockey radical is driving all the PC nonsense...
Perhaps invite them to update their resume...
Things on the campus would settle right down, I s'pect.
