The university wanted a license to discriminate, and Judge Rose said no way. This ruling is a win for basic fairness, but it is also an eloquent plea for civility in how governments treat Americans in all their diversity. As a governmental body bound by the First Amendment, the university should have never tried to get into the game of playing favorites in the first place, and it is high time for it to stop now.

I’m ABSOLUTELY SURE that Hillary’s judges would have ruled the same. Right NEVER-TRUMPERS?

How come there was no state university sponsored Juggalos Club when I went to college?
Oh, yeah. That was before there was an Insane Clown Posse and associated festivals.

Vanderbilt started this whole thing — the trend of delegitimizing Christian student groups for requiring their leadership to actually be Christians. They’re a private school, but they take government funds of course. I wonder if a lawsuit against them is next.
