It's unconstitutional as well - as far as I see it, it violates the 1st Amendment...

Actually, it does not. The government can attach whatever strings it wants to the funds it provides. If you don't like the strings, you don't take the money.

The Supreme Court has ruled this way many times.

It is obviously a disgusting bill, and pretty lame that Arnie signed it, but if you are a private christian college, just don't take money from the state, and you won't be beholden.

I didn't see the unconstitutionality in the link. The state can offer more protection with it's own funding. That is inherent in the Constitution.

You're saying that the 1sy Amendment isn't about freedom of speech or religion, but about the right to receive largesse from the government?
