In a shameful attack on freedom of religion, the University of Wisconsin–Eau Claire (UWEC) has banned resident assistants (RAs) from leading Bible studies in their own dormitories.
The university claims the ban is necessary because some students might not feel RAs who lead Bible studies are "approachable.”

I guarantee the University wouldn't have said a word.
This is what we get from the land of Herbert Kohl, Russ Feingold, etc. People there can never learn much.
This is beyond disgusting. Absolutely over the limit.
What happened to the Democrats scream to the Right to privacy. Oh yea, that's only if you want to murder your unborn child.
I hope it goes before the new Supreme Court.
Misleading title. What they banned was having employees of the school lead Bible studies. Dorm Resident Managers and Assistants are employees of the school.
Anyone else living in the dorm can have as many Bible studies as they wish.
Absolutely, liberal people in WI would sooner use the Koran than the Bible.
What a stupid reason, but you are right. If it had been an Islamic study, no one would say anything.
So they can prevent people from heading a Bible study on their own time?
I am so mad reading this crap. Who do they think they are? We used to live in a country with freedom of religion but thanks to the ACLU that is no longer the case. Thankfully my daughter goes to a Christian college. No way I would want her in one of these hell holes. Now days colleges promote porn and homosexuality and take away Bibles. The hallowed halls of higher education.

These guys will eat the UW-EC administration for breakfast.
Can they go to Mass or Church in public?
I doubt it.
Unbelievable.
Just this morning on the news there was a story about a college airing porn and the powers that be won't interfere because it is the students call.
Who would want to aproach an RA anyway?
They're just high school hall monitors writ large.
Losers, every last one of them.

Why would leading a bible study be the "measure" of approachability? Shouldn't they simply ban all outspoken christians from being RAs, just to be safe?
"Don't Ask, Don't Tell" -- that would be a great policy to make sure the RAs are approachable.
On the other hand, if the RA was gay, we would say that was OK because if a person can't approach a gay person, well it's that person's fault, not the gay guy. We don't want to encourage bigots.
Those dirty Christians! They're everywhere!
The assault on Christianity continues.
Unless they are employees of the school
Maybe they could pass a law against employees criticizing politicians.
Don't worry, everyone. I'm sure the ACLU will move swiftly to fight this violation of religious freedom.
"Can they go to Mass or Church in public?"
I can't imagine why not.
"The university claims the ban is necessary because some students might not feel RAs who lead Bible studies are "approachable.”"
That is, without a doubt, one of the top ten dumbest things I have ever read!!
