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.
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.
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.
Don't worry, everyone. I'm sure the ACLU will move swiftly to fight this violation of religious freedom.
"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!!
I'm sure the university would rush to set up a private prayer room in the dorm for them. Just so long as no Christians ask for one...
So some students are prejudiced against Christians and the school wants to support them in their bias? That's real open minded of them!
Moral Absolutes Ping.
I've got take some time off from FR. I just cannot believe this. I mean, it's not that I doubt the veracity of the above article (what I've read of it).
It's just that the aggressive, fiendish assault on God is like a tsunami as it approaches a harbor. People who see this evil for what it is have got to stand up and take action.
Not APPROACHABLE? What do they mean? Won't go in for pansexual orgies?
Freepmail me if you want on/off this pinglist.
This will be overturned.
It's overt religious discrimination.
Christian discrimination ping
"... banned resident assistants (RAs) from leading Bible studies ..."
So let someone else lead it then. However, there's still no reason anyone should be barred from doing this on his own time. I'm assuming the R.A. that prompted this was not leading the Bible study as an official representative of the University.
