Under the argument being made by the ND88, a private Catholic university would be unable to stop homosexualists from holding a “gay pride” demonstration on campus.

The University of Notre Dame made a dumb decision to invite 0Bama and to treat prayerful protesters as trespassers.

But the campus is private property, and private property owners should have a right to keep whomever they wish off of their property for whatever reason.

The argument being made is actually harmful to Catholic institutions because a ruling in favor of the ND88 on the grounds mentioned in this article would end up making it illegal for a Catholic university to keep unwanted activities off of their campus.

A university campus would have long since lost its status as "private property" due to the public accommodations statutes passed back in the '60's for anti-discrimination purposes. That's why it is against the law for you to deny a black person a room at your "private property" hotel.

And if you are letting untold numbers of strangers have the run of your "Private" campus, like on graduation day, it is no longer private.
