Christian Students Kept Away from Incoming Freshmen So They Would ‘Feel Welcome’
Truth Revolt ^ | 10/10/2017 | Trey Sanchez

At Oxford, where the motto is, “The Lord is my Light.”

Members of the Christian Union (CU) were banned from attending a freshman fair at the University of Oxford for fears that incoming students might face “potential harm” and feel unwelcome. According to Breitbart London, the university wanted to keep the freshers’ fair a “secular space” after concerns were raised by “student welfare representatives.” This was a strange turn of events for an institue established under Christianity.

An internal e-mail explained the university’s reasoning:

"We recognise the wonderful advantages in having CU representatives at the Fresher’s Fair, but are concerned that there is potential for harm to freshers who are already struggling to feel welcome in Oxford."

"Christianity’s influence on many marginalised communities has been damaging in its methods of conversion and rules of practice, and is still used in many places as an excuse for homophobia and certain forms of neo-colonialism."

However, a “multi-faith” space was set up at the fair, only “no member of a religious society was allowed to attend or speak,” according to the report.

This infuriated the CU members who felt their free speech and religious freedoms were being jeopardized. Meanwhile, the university states that the Christian group agreed to the demands. CU said that is a “misleading” statement.

Was the muti-faith space occupied by anyone or only muzzies?

Why would these so easily offended snowflakes choose to attend a Christian school?

For the same reason LGBTWHATEVERS intentionally go to a Christian bakery or florist.

They clearly don’t want everyone to feel welcome because they are not providing for CHRISTIAN students feeling welcome.

All they feel is the hostility towards their beliefs from the open minded liberals.

"Christianity’s Islam's influence on many marginalised communities has been damaging in its methods of conversion and rules of practice, and is still used in many places as an excuse for homophobia and certain forms of neo-colonialism."

There, fixed it.

Ever notice how today’s movies about England’s past omits anything Christian? It is as if they had no religion from the days of the ancient Roman invasion to now.
