" InterVarsity Christian Fellowship is defending religious freedom at Wayne State University in Michigan. The organization has been on this campus for 75 years. However, in 2017, the InterVarsity chapter at Wayne State was denied recognition as a student group. Wayne State claimed the group was discriminating by requiring its leaders to be Christians." "New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof wondered if college campuses have a bias against evangelical Christians. Research has found that evangelical professors are less likely to be hired, which Kristof believes hurts students in the long run. “When perspectives are unrepresented in discussions, when some kinds of thinkers aren’t at the table, classrooms become echo chambers rather than sounding boards—and we all lose,” Kristof wrote." "Passed by the state Senate and now pending in the Assembly, Senate Bill 1146 is a flawed measure that denies faith-based universities in California the ability to function based on religious beliefs and constitutional principles. Although this may not be the intention of Sen. Ricardo Lara and his colleagues, the bill is discriminatory and violates the First Amendment and freedom of religion. The overall assumption of SB 1146 is that it protects gay, lesbian and transgender students against discrimination at private Christian universities. However, this overlooks the devastating impact on constitutional freedoms. Tens of thousands of students in California, many of them first-generation and people of various nationalities, will potentially have their college choice limited. SB 1146 seeks to narrow a religious exemption in California to only those schools that prepare students for pastoral ministry. This effectively eliminates the religious liberty of all universities that integrate spiritual life with their entire educational experience." "The decision in CLS v. Martinez, 561 U.S. 661 (2010) could have a damaging effect on the religious liberty of all students attending public colleges and universities. The decision puts student groups across the country at risk and leaves room for absurd scenarios, such as requiring CLS to allow atheists to lead its Bible studies. Recently, a similar policy at private Vanderbilt University forced the school's Catholic student group off campus because Vanderbilt Catholic requires that its leaders be Catholic (although it allows anyone to be a member of the group)." "When Alito was dissenting in Christian Legal Society v. Martinez, he cautioned that not only was the majority’s decision seriously flawed, but that it would be used as a club against groups with viewpoints that are unpopular among the vast majority of college administrators – such as Christian faith. He warned that kids in religiously and politically conservative groups — which college administrators disfavor — would be targeted, notes Robert Shibley writing for National Review magazine. Christian Legal Society v. Martinez was a “sharply divided and startlingly wrongheaded decision,” agrees Shibley. “Those concerned about religious liberty on campus have known that the fallout was on its way. At Vanderbilt University, it has arrived — and it’s as bad as anticipated.” “In Martinez,” he writes, “the Court determined that public institutions like the University of California’s Hastings College of the Law could require all student groups — even those based on shared belief, such as religious and political organizations — to admit members and even leaders without regard to their beliefs." "For 40 years, evangelicals at Bowdoin College have gathered periodically to study the Bible together, to pray and to worship. They are a tiny minority on the liberal arts college campus, but they have been a part of the school’s community, gathering in the chapel, the dining center, the dorms. After this summer, the Bowdoin Christian Fellowship will no longer be recognized by the college. Already, the college has disabled the electronic key cards of the group’s longtime volunteer advisers. In a collision between religious freedom and antidiscrimination policies, the student group, and its advisers, have refused to agree to the college’s demand that any student, regardless of his or her religious beliefs, should be able to run for election as a leader of any group, including the Christian association." Less spirituality and more safe spaces!
Your definition in no way explains how Christianity is being "weaponized." Are they stockpiling arms in order to prepare for war? Are there godly sattelites of doomsday circling the planet? You are equateing all Christians with those wackos from the Westboro Baptist Church. http://godhatesfags.com
Do black student organizations at those colleges have to admit white people? Do you have to be gay to join a gay group? I bet those rules don't apply to "socially approved" groups.
"At UCLA, the Afrikan Student Union is insisting upon an “Afrikan Diaspora floor” as well as an “Afro-house.” “Black students lack spaces where they feel safe and comfortable,” the UCLA demands state. “The Afrikan Diaspora floor is a way for us to connect more to other Black students, the Afrikan Student Union, and the Afro-Am department. The floor should be branded as a safe space for all Black students.” "At NYU, students demanded that “within the NYU 2031 Plan, have guaranteed that an entire floor of the mixed use building in the Southern Superblock plan be entirely dedicated to Students of Color, and another for Queer Students on campus.” Students at UC Berkeley demanded “the creation of an African-American Student Development Resource Center…with a designated office space as well as space for hosting events, at a central campus location. This center is to be under the purview of the African-American Student Development Office.” "Students4Justice, a student activist group at the University of Michigan, is demanding campus officials provide them with “a permanent designated space on central campus for Black students and students of color to organize and do social justice work.” The student activists are disappointed with school administrators and launched a petitionaimed at University President Mark Schlissel. They claim he has shown “lackluster leadership” in “protecting the safety” of non-white students on campus. The activist group spent the last month marching on campus, holding sit-ins, and even protested outside of Schlissel’s home “in the middle of the night.” "Students protesting what they believe is a "hostile climate" toward black students at the University of California Santa Cruz were locked inside an administrative building for three days until they scored a sweeping victory Thursday. Members of the university's African/Black Student Alliance organization took over Kerr Hall Tuesday, locked all of the doors, covered the windows with slogan-filled posters, and vowed to not leave until their demands were met.... "If the university fails us, there will be no business as usual," A/BSA told the university's newspaper. Chancellor George Blumenthal sat down at a negotiating table with 10 protesters at 4 p.m. Thursday. Blumenthal declined to negotiate inside Kerr Hall because he had received threats and feared for his safety, protesters said. Instead, the meeting was moved to the biology building, and Blumenthal ultimately agreed to meet all four of the group's demands." One of those demands? "We demand that all new incoming students from 2017-2018 school year forward (first years and transfers) go through a mandatory in-person diversity competency training in the event that the online module is not implemented by JUNE 2017. We demand that the training be reviewed and approved by A/BSA board every two years. We demand that every incoming student complete this training by their first day of class." So ALL students have to have mandatory training (indoctrination) that is reviewed by the African/Black Student Alliance. OooooK. I think you'll find that most gay organizations on college campuses encourage everyone to join, including straight folks but let's face it, that isn't happening much if at all. I guarantee that if an evangelical joined a gay group, and at every meeting, asked for 5 minutes to read Bible verses, that gay group would find a way around it. The answer seems to be obvious. If you want "freedom" then you need to demand a safe space. And the libs are calling Christians snowflakes?
"Sarah Jeong, who will be joining the New York Times editorial board in September, has expressed open disdain for white people in numerous tweets sent between 2013 and 2015. Jeong’s Twitter account is replete with racial insults against white people, whom she has described as “groveling goblins,” “bullshit,” “miserable,” and “dogs.” “Dumba** f***ing white people marking up the internet with their opinions like dogs pissing on fire hydrants,” Jeong wrote in November 2014. “Are white people genetically predisposed to burn faster un the sun, thus logically being only fit to live underground like groveling goblins,” she wrote a month later..... Jeong, who was hired Wednesday as the Times‘s lead editorial writer on technology, attended Harvard Law School" https://www.nationalreview.com/news/sarah-jeong-new-york-times-hires-writer-racist-past/amp/ Hey, it was just Harvard and now the NY Times. I'm sure purely anecdotal those tweets of hers. Seriously, how does this civilian under naval training maintain employment and if you don't thing white folks are under siege, well, good morning.
Get used to this the democrats and the left are all basically anti white especially anti white males. This anti white movement is everywhere.
