Yale Law School Yanks Stipends From Students Who Work For Christian Firms
The Federalist ^ | 4/1/19 | Aaron Haviland

Posted on 04/07/2019 7:02:28 AM PDT by marshmallow

Yale has found a roundabout way to blacklist legal and nonprofit organizations that don't adhere to Yale’s understanding of gender identity.

Several weeks ago, I wrote about the challenges of being a Christian and a conservative at Yale Law School. A few days ago, the law school decided to double down and prove my point.

After the Yale Federalist Society invited an attorney from Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), a prominent Christian legal group, to speak about the Masterpiece Cakeshop case, conservative students faced backlash. Outlaws, the law school’s LGBTQ group, demanded that Yale Law School “clarify” its admissions policies for students who support ADF’s positions. Additionally, Outlaws insisted that students who work for religious or conservative public interest organizations such as ADF during their summers should not receive financial support from the law school.

On March 25, one month after the controversy, Yale Law School announced via email that it was extending its nondiscrimination policy to summer public interest fellowships, postgraduate public interest fellowships, and loan forgiveness for public interest careers. The school will no longer provide financial support for students and graduates who work at organizations that discriminate on the basis of “sexual orientation and gender identity and expression.”

Yale based its decision on a unanimous recommendation from the school’s Public Interest Committee. The committee explained: “The logic of our broader recommendation is that Yale Law School does not and should not support discrimination against its own students, financially or otherwise. Obviously, the Law School cannot prohibit a student from working for an employer who discriminates, but that is not a reason why Yale Law School should bear any obligation to fund that work, particularly if that organization does not give equal employment opportunity to all of our students.”

The law school also thanked Outlaws for raising this issue.

We are an occupied country.

Christianity has a restraining effect on tyranny; even rulers are subject to basic Biblical norms. If those aren’t met there is a citizen outrage criteria.

Any ruler wishing to become God must first deracinate America’s faith in God:

Which kinda tells you where we are headed.

Yale started as a Christian divinity school.

Sounds kike a case of discrimination based solely upon religion or religious convictions no matter how one wants to package it. End result is if you are not affiliated with a Christian endeavor then you will not be singled out for discrimination.

Is it the Muslims or the Chinese Communists behind this?

Liberals are turning America into precisely what they accuse Christians of making America in The Handmaid’s Tale.

The IQs of Ivy League graduate has been dropping steadily for years. Soon the Ivy League will be nothing more than a collection of clown schools.
The company I retired from tried to hire a few over my last 10 years there. They were a a collection of idiots with no demonstrable skill in the fields we hired them for. All of them knew they were meant to lead. When we didn’t immediately bow down and make them the boss they all left. Most of the went to work for the feds.
I don’t think any one of them could even spell the name of their stated field, engineering, chemistry or physics without using a spell checker.

unless they're Christians.

It’s time for all public funding to be yanked from Yale. That includes any government student loan support.

The left is gearing up for genocide.

Older white male Christian “boomer-cons” will be Target One on their hate list.

But folks who don’t know what “zero a rifle” means should not instigate a genocide/civil war against those who do, and have.

And yet, nothing is being done. The persecution of Christians is happening all over the country. Even Chick-fil-A has been banned in places in Buffalo and San Antonio. Where is Attorney General Barr? Where are the charges against the persecutors for Federal Civil Rights violations? Can you imagine how quick Holder or Lynch would have pounced if Muslims in America received similar treatment? But for Christians today , it’s open season.

Hmmm...excuse me but please provide PROOF that they discriminate, otherwise they’re just making an assertion to engage in bigotry.

These students need to make it abundantly clear that they’re CHRISTIAN and hate nobody. If the school continues this policy then it is purely discrimination against religion, it is then illegal.

Forget just calling yourselves “conservative” - that is relegated to a political position which carries no protection. If you’re Christian you must make it loud and clear that is because of this that you’re being targeted.

Time to stop ALL federal aid to college students and the colleges they attend. The government has no constitutional mandate to provide financial aid for people to attend college. If colleges are going to discriminate against a certain portions of society at the behest of another whose view differ from theirs then they are not treating everyone equally. That is their right as a private organization, but the federal government shouldn’t subsidize it.
