Thirty-three self-identified LGBTQ etc. students who are currently attending Christian universities have sued the Department of Education, demanding that all federal funding be withdrawn from those institutions. This suit is an inevitable sequel to the Obergefell lawsuit, which put the whole non-traditional sexual identity spectrum into the Constitution. However, it also highlights that Christian institutions should never have gotten entangled with the federal government.
In typically histrionic terms, the lawsuit, filed in federal court in Eugene, Oregon, claims that it's a necessity because the court must "put an end to the U.S. Department of Education's complicity in the abuses and unsafe conditions thousands of LGBTQ+ students endure at hundreds of taxpayer-funded, religious colleges and universities." According to the plaintiffs — all of whom voluntarily attended Christian universities — they're suffering horribly at the schools of their choice.
What's really happening is that these Christian institutions live by Christian values — and one of the core Christian values is that God created man and woman and intended them to be a matched set. As the old line goes, it's Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve. And it's certainly not Adam and a human creature who declines to identify as either Steve or Eve but, on different days, will engage in sterilized sexual activity with whatever catches his/her/its fancy. Moreover, the First Amendment explicitly ensures that Christian institutions have the right to hold these beliefs — beliefs, incidentally, that were the norm when the Founders ratified the Bill of Rights.
The recently filed lawsuit became inevitable when the Supreme Court decided Obergefell. Writing for the majority, Justice Kennedy decided that the Constitution has some unwritten provisions about everyone's right to be loved and accepted. Add in a few penumbras and emanations, and — bada-bing, bada-boom — LGBTQ etc. relationships

Honestly, Christian colleges should have never taken the cash in the first place.
None should. There’s no enumerated power for Congress to spend money for that purpose.
Title needed fixing.
Religious schools at all levels should not take money for the government. This includes vouchers for elementary schools. Once you let that camel’s nose under the tent flap, you will lose control of what you can teach.

when the truth is out
I agree partially.. all federal funding should be withdrawn from all colleges and all public schools.
It’s a state not federal.
That being said anyone associated with the LGBTQRSTUVWXYZ retatrds should be institutionalized for psychological disorders
RE: It’s a state not federal.
How does that solve this LGBTQ problem? Are states like California, New York or Illinois any better than the Federal government?
The non-standard-way-of-doing-sex crowd seeks to make their consciences feel better by trashing Christianity. It won’t work. They’ll still feel ashamed of themselves.
People who feel the need to parade around with signs proclaiming ‘pride’ are really very ashamed of themselves.
Agree. They’re now in a compromised position.
Why not?
“Why not?’
Because of the old English secular proverb: “If you take the king’s penny you are the king’s man.”
Taking the cash puts them under the thumb of government when they should only have to obey God.

Don’t be fooled into thinking this is just about federal funding for Christian colleges. The Left does things in steps. The ultimate goal is to ELIMINATE Christian colleges. Conservatives are still willing to be the frog in the pot.
The ultimate goal is to eliminate Christianity.

I think in many cases they didn’t. The “cash” involves students taking out federally-administered education loans or veterans benefits or quid-pro-quo research contracts. These plaintiffs argue this means the colleges are accepting federal funds. They want to prohibit students who borrow education money from attending the institution of their choice.
We haven't had a king as the ruler of America since 1776. Everybody/organization who pay taxes are entitled to government subsidies that are handed out to similar organizations.
The federal government needs to stay out of education period. The NEA needs to be abolished.
On this particular LGBTQ retards issue it would eliminate their funding issue if Federal funding didn’t exist. The common sense thing here which, the left has none of, is that 33 LGBTQ retards are attending a Christian College.. That shows how demented they are. It’s not about the education it’s about “changing the system”. Educated people would understand that but these idiots don’t.
The sexual identity spectrum is non-existent. It’s made up based on known psychological disorders that can be treated and should NOT BE catered too.
School funding and guidelines should be State associated only.
If California, New York and Illinois want to continue go down this shxthole let them. Folks can always move and real parents put their kids in good schools and those that can’t afford to move or pay for a good school should take the time to teach their kids, right and wrong and the BS these liberal shxthole states and cities teach them is wrong.
RE: The federal government needs to stay out of education period.
America’s educational system was one of the world’s best until we formed the Federal Department of Education in 1979 under Jimmy Carter. It was downhill from there.
