Good guys win one. Looks like the president of the college is still too shell-shocked to realize what he just won. This is great news. A religious college should have the right to set standards on the type of people they want attending their college.

Does this college receive any subsidies from the gov’t, such as federal tuition aid to its students?
If not, then it should have the right to set these standards for admission.

For the record, I support the idea that a private educational institution, religious or otherwise, should be able to discriminate as it pleases on issues related to sex and morality. Yet, we no longer live in the Victorian age but in the twenty-first century in which alien cultures can arrive on our shores with the speed of a jet plane. Like other actions we would like to take in opposition to Barack Obama, these matters present a two edged sword, if we permit discrimination by Baptists we are constitutionally forced to permit discrimination by Muslims.

It is important not to stand by while our culture is destroyed by a series of cells operating around mosques or Muslim schools. Yet we are in a constitutional box.

The only solution which preserves the culture and observes the Constitution is to halt Muslim immigration into the country.

That’s quite a feat to pull off in today’s world, and legally too! This is from an Attorney who thinks defensively,and outside the box. Most adult Christians are unaccustomed to having to defend their right to believe.

to let them know that the values that Carson-Newman now represents are not mine," Champion said

He needs to change that last name also. I think "Loser" would be far more appropriate. In addition, I will stand away from him at the Judgement seat when his turn comes. Listening to himself say that again in front of his Lord and Master will not be an enjoyable sight.

Agree. Except I believe the only reason the government allowed this is to support Muslim institutions and their invocation of Sharia law - but now they can say "Christians did it first."

The whole “no one can discriminate” nonsense is a direct attack on freedom of association for any entity other than a government agency.

The law should be colorblind, but private individuals have an absolute right to freedom of association.

It’s like owning a gun for PD. You hope you never have to use it but you are glad you have it in case you do. It may keep the mentally disabled from applying to your college.

"... Wins the right..."

Well, how nice. But what if the court had ruled the other way? Would that right have then been deemed retroactively non-existent?

I don't at all like the concept of "exemptions." It presupposes the condition that but for a specific, allowable harmless action, specified by a government, you would be illegally "discriminating." This put the existence of constitutional rights on its head. It makes the individual/entity prove that they are not breaking the law instead of this burden of proof falling completely on the governent.

No one should have the obligation in the least to defend it's "right to discrimination." Discrimination DEFINES freedom. This should be beyond the purview of any court to decide, and I wouldn't even subject myself to their decision.

‘’A religious college should have the right to set standards on the type of people they want attending their college.’’

Hooray, Tennessee! That type of attitude is why we left CA and came to TN.

Congrats on your move. I’m in a small town in TN and it’s like living in another time in history. I went back to college and my math professor gave all of us a homemade loaf of bread with a Bible verse enclosed with each loaf on the last day of class. We occasionally have gospel singing’s at the local Wal-Mart and still pray at high school ballgames. I’m not posting exactly where I live because I know liberal trolls would love to give us grief but I can tell you that the local residents won’t put up with it.

When we moved here, I was checking out at Food City the first time and signing up for their bonus card. In line, the cashier and two ladies behind me all invited me to their respective churches. In CA, the cashier would’ve been let go. It definitely is another world — and we LOVE it!

Yes, small towns are remaining exceedingly conservative, thankfully. But from what I’ve been hearing, Nashville is becoming the San Francisco of the state. And the enclaves ruled by universities are almost no different from Marxist communities of the NE.

HaHa! We’re happy to have you here. From what I read in the news we are blessed to live here. Around here the question usually is ‘where do you go to church’ not ‘do you go to church’.

The small towns in TN don’t change much and are still very conservative. The large cities are more liberal. They also have more of a Muslim population that I wish we didn’t have. Chattanooga is still fairly more conservative than some even though it’s large.

Yes; it’s always “WHERE do you go to church”. Refreshing.
