Why should RA's that happen to be "Christian" refrain from Bible Studies??

No one is saying they should. Just that they shouldn't hold them in the dorms they supervise.

If my employer tells me not to hold Bible study in my office, that has nothing to do with my right to do so in the park or on the sidewalk or in the parking lot.

I'm amazed by the hysteria this thread has spawned. An RA is asked to supervise one building (or one floor, or one wing, whatever). As a condition of his employment, he is told not to teach Bible classes in that one building. One building on the planet. And for that, we get this wailing and moaning and gnashing of teeth?

In response to us discussing this issue, you choose to play the role of a drama queen, exaggerating what we're doing. Good performance! Now go ahead and take a bow.

Well if the dorm they supervise is also the dorm they live in, then they ~should~ be able to conduct the religious Bible study. Also if you work at a company and your employer asks you not to study your Bible (or any other book), then if it is during ~work~ hours then sure they can ask you not, to: that isn't what they are paying you for, but if you are on ~break/lunch/whatever~ then they can't ask you not to read or conduct your Bible study; I doubt that this RA is always offically 'Working'~ :)~!
