What a stupid rule. Regardless, I hope the local Islamic student group is facing the same threat.
Argh! Those type of things are so...silly, is the nice term. What’s the point of having a Christian organization, or say, a swim team, if the group must be forced to admit Muslims or football players?
The Muslim does not share the Christian’s belief, and the football player doesn’t share the swimmer’s abilities... That’s why groups are groups!!

According to the lawsuit, Ray Ryan, vice president of the Student Senate, notified Matthew Long, fellowship president, in an e-mail that "the issue here is separation between church and state and being exclusive in your membership. Clubs need to be open to everyone regardless of religious background."One of the problems with this dispute is that Mr. Ryan is unthinkingly pushing the bogus idea of church and state separation. If anybody wants to see the USSC's bogus church and state separation idea disappear before their eyes, a politically correct perversion of our constitutional religious freedoms that was wrongly legislated from the bench when the Court decided Cantwell v. Connecticut in 1940, then please read the following post. Note that while the post concerns a 10 Commandments issue it is also applicable to this thread.
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1992174/posts?page=22#22The bottom line, as mentioned in the referenced post, is that the people need to reconnect with the Founder's division of federal and state powers, particularly where the wrongly ignored 10th A. power of the states to address religious issues is concerned, power now limited by the honest interpretation of the 14th Amendment. The people then need to get in the faces of renegade justices and do a major spring cleaning where USSC respect for our religious freedoms is concerned. President Lincoln put it this way.
