This is pretty much National Socialism in its earlier stages.

The term Nazi is being attached to the wrong end of the political (and moral) spectrum.

This is going to get worse, a lot worse. Many of us are going to have to make some hard choices if we wish to retain our liberties.

So much for "diversity" and "inclusion." It was never about diversity and inclusion, it was about control of moral and political groups that don't fit their standards. We are here: “If there are no absolutes by which to judge society, then society is absolute.” Francis Schaeffer, How Shall We Then Live? (Old Tappan NJ: Fleming H Revell Company, 1976), p. 224.

As Michael Savage once said:

“GAY, GAY, GAY, GAY, GAY!”

The whole world has gotten turned on its head in order to accommodate a small percentage of the population that insists that its unnatural sexual practices not just be tolerated, but celebrated.

What standing does Duke University have as an arbiter of free speech and association? It seems to me it is well within their rights to engender and keep whatever perversities they espouse. Normal people have a tendency to go elsewhere for common sense and decency.

If they accept federal funds I think they have to allow all religious viewpoints? So I think they’d lose if sued.

Pull Duke’s government funding - IMMEADIATRLy.

They are obviously nothing more than ignorant and hateful bigots and our tax dollars should not be supporting such an institution.

Duke gets half a BILLION dollars a year from Uncle Sam for research; I think taxpayers have a right to demand in return that free speech be upheld.

Luke Powery, Dean of the Chapel at Duke is horrible.

Half the congregation left. He was previously a professor of homiletics (preaching and writing sermons) at Princeton.

This guy uses emotional manipulation and goes into song during his sermons rather than stimulating the intellect. Zero substance, all flash.

Only the students need to recognize the organization for it to be valid.
