Citing concerns about discrimination, more colleges are declaring that they will no longer recognize Christian groups, especially evangelical groups, as official student organizations.
The trend is driven by the universities desire to rid their campuses of bias, particularly against gays and lesbians, according to The New York Times. In addition, the student organizations requirement that leaders be Christian has led to accusations of discrimination against non-Christians.

And would the LGBT groups allow those who don’t believe in their lifestyle to join their groups? Wonder if anyone has made this argument to these so-called educators?

You betcha. They have played this game unopposed for decades.

These are the same college that rip-off our kids by giving them an inferior education at inflated prices. Most criminal groups aren't big on Christianity...seems colleges are no exception.
BIG difference, Americans are ARMED to the teeth. These radicals will have their rearends handed to them.
Yep, and these folks forget that many Americans Christians, unlike those in the Middle East are ARMED to the teeth.
The pro-homo heterosexuals are becoming just as bad as the militant homos.

But bias against Christians is A-OK.
Sounds like a macro-aggression to me.
Christian groups should stop being general and start being denominational. At that point colleges will have to deny equal access to real religions even though they receive public funds and they will be discriminating against real religions purely on the basis of their religion.

Exactly right.
Colleges need to de-fund frivolous groups. In the name of controlling college costs and reducing college debt, they should cut off all support for clubs and groups on campus. It makes economic sense, and it will eliminate the discrimination against Christians - a double win.
Let me say this about that.
We might be a whole lot closer than we were twenty years ago.
...and it might just hinge on the 2016 election results as to how much closer we will be in a year and five and a half months.
Am I itchin, not when I know the devastation and history should not be repeated when we know the history.

...hardly armed to the teeth as the US military is, which will be sent into swirling, SWAT team action at the first sign of any organized pushback from mere citizenry...think of Janet Reno, and multiply her actions by ten, and that’s what will happen if you decide to exercise your rights by discharging a firearm at a gvernmental entity...
...and anyhow, being armed to the teeth hardly jives with the current Pope, what with his humbler and more socially conscious than thou posture...

Just go back and read the referenced comment #10 it should be obvious.
