Supreme Court Ruling Threatens Chrisitian College Groups

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled on June 28 that a public university may deny a Christian organization official recognition under an uncommon policy that requires groups to accept all students as members regardless of their beliefs. The high court's 5-4 opinion against the Christian Legal Society (CLS) chapter at the University of California Hastings College of the Law came on the final day of its term. The court majority decided that the school, which is located in San Francisco, can require all student organizations to accept into their membership students who disagree with them in order for such groups to use the facilities and communications networks of the school. CLS chapters welcome all students to their meetings but allow only those who affirm the organization's statement of faith to be officers or voting members.  Click here to read more.
