The right to free association is dead.

So, then can Jews and Christians join Muslim organizations too?

That ruling makes perfect sense (for the 9th circuit).
Time to put training wheels on that court until they learn the U.S. Constitution, or at least the Cliff Notes version of it.

When some of the liberal student groups get punked by conservatives clamoring to join (and it won’t be long) they’ll be squealing to the deans to rescind that policy.

Does this apply to Muslim groups as well?

So whites can flood the black students’ association and Christians can join the Muslim Students’ Association and destroy them through dilution of their membership? This ruling cuts both ways.

I think the key is, that it’s on Uncle Sam’s dime. Pay the piper, call the tune. Yeah, they could get slapped by the USSC as many a time before. But conservative students can stop this at a local level PDQ by punking liberal groups that now have to be open to them.

They can, but conservatives don’t do things like that.

Only if you want to have free association funded with public money.

I would think the Christian organizations would consider divesting themselves of the yoke of government support and form groups that don't rely on campus facilities/resources - that is the Christian way.
While it sucks that Satan is having his way, the Lord said it would be so and we waste time and energy fighting this system - Christians can do more good by finding a way to unfetter themselves and not paying so much attention to worldly roadblocks. Satan will rule the worldly until Jesus returns to straighten him out - the Lord has said as much, yet we continually beat our heads against the wall trying to resist the evil that Jesus told us not to resist.
As citizens, we can campaign/lobby/vote - as Christians, we need to find the separation of worldly things and the Good News we are supposed to be spreading.

Wait until a group of KKKers try to join a black student group. You’ll hear a completely different decision then.

9th Circuit: University Can Force Christian Groups Open to Non-Christians. I've been a Christian for more than 50 years ... and I've been a part of and/or attended numerous "Christian Groups" ... and I've yet to see one which was not open to non-Christians.
In fact, every Christian Group that I'm familiar with specifically reaches out and hopes to touch non-Christians.
Therefore, it seems to me that this 9th Circus ruling is about as silly and meaningless as anything else the government has coming out of California these days.

No First Amendment in the 9th Circuit?

How can you have “Freedom of Religion” if the government can dictate the makeup and rules of said religion? Isn’t this what we left England to get away from, domination of church/government?

Bullsh.. Christians are taxpaying citizens who are having their rights circumscribed by the government to which they pay taxes. Rest assured, this decision will be overturned in the Supreme Court.
