I’ll be surprised if the ACLU takes this up, actually. Grove City is carefully a fully private institution—and the ACLU failed to browbeat the Boy Scouts into accepting perverted scoutmasters in the federal courts (even though they are under continuing persecution at the state and local level) due to their private institution status.
There is even less of a case here (as Grove City College presumably never uses public property for meetings and camp outs, like the Scouts do), and I suspect the ACLU would realize they would be ultimately wasting their money, for a kid who intentionally broke the rules.
I don’t know about that. Dragging people through the mud because they don’t go along with “pc” bull seems to be a specialty of the ACLU, and they do take cases they know they might lose just to make a national awareness campaign.
If they don’t do it, some other tool of the left will; just look what they are doing to Miss CA, the Prop 8 supporters and many others who are not PC.
For instance, overlooking heterosexual misconduct but punishing this guy. My daughter's former private school had a case that went to the state supreme court when a female employee was discharged when she came up pregnant and was not married or the victim of rape. She tried to claim discrimination but the school had recently fired a male employee when it was discovered he was having an extramarital affair.
So long as the school is consistent on their rules...they should be ok.
