(First rule: I’m not reading like a proper FR doesn’t.)
General comments:
-This entire nonsense of “non-discrimination” has to go; it violates the 4th Amend, FGS. Prior to all hell breaking loose in 2020, I thought all the absurdities were pointing that way, that we’d finally get over this garbage of “not allowed to refuse employment/service” etc. But then BLM brought it back full force and worse.
-we can’t really insist on religious exceptions to that “non-discrim” rule, because you KNOW Moslems will be granted anything they wish, except maybe beheadings - and when they start saying “Christians got their way”, then the kind and gentle liberals will acquiesce and Moslems can behead as they wish.
Let’s see . . . They’ve corrupted most public high schools with Pride Clubs, the president’s cabinet, ruined the Girl’s and Boy Scouts, most movies, most television comedies, invited themselves into St. Patrick Parades, corrupted the English Language, (fill in the blanks), and yet they, at the most, consist of maybe 1.5% of the population.
“the most, consist of maybe 1.5% of the population”
They serve the purposes of the wealthiest and most politically powerful 0.01%. For now.
They seem to want to have it both ways: pretend they aren't religious to attract secular students, but then pretend they are religious to limit the LGBT creep.
but these are persona non grata, of course....

Smith College bars reporters from sit-in, unless they agree “to explicitly state they support[] the movement in their articles”
By Eugene Volokh

“We are asking that any journalists or press that cover our story participate and articulate their solidarity with black students and students of color,” [Alyssa Mata-Flores, a 21-year-old Smith College senior and one of the sit-in’s organizers] told MassLive in the Student Center Wednesday. “By taking a neutral stance, journalists and media are being complacent in our fight.”
This week, New York’s Yeshiva University — an Orthodox Jewish university — filed an emergency application to the U.S. Supreme Court after a state supreme court judge ordered the school to recognize an LGBT student group in violation of its religious beliefs regarding sexual morality.
An example to the rest of us.............................
Just called Yeshiva U dean of undergrad Torah studies to thank his University for taking these actions to stand up for God’s word and our religious freedoms. I said I will keep them and their fight in my prayers.
It seems like a violation of the first amendment. Do anti discrimination laws trump the Bill Of Rights? Most religions are anti-poofter, so how does it work?
“Yeshiva’s emergency application was filed with Justice Sonia Sotomayor...”
RIP
“yet they, at the most, consist of maybe 1.5% of the population”
Well, if you let 1.5% of a contaminant into your batch, the whole batch is ruined.
“Must religious institutions abandon certain core tenets to operate in the public square?”
Today, religious institutions. Tomorrow, individual Christians.
Equal civil rights — yes.
Forcing fail communities to accept or Eddie’s or host or enable it? Sickeningly evil!
It violates 4th A, period. You don’t want Moslems claiming religious freedom to behead and institute sharia law.
Freedom of association need to restored.
Catholic Charities lost a landmark case in California a few years ago because the state court determined it doesn’t meet any objective legal standard as a religious organization. I suspect Yeshiva may be facing the same future in this case.
The Supreme Court cannot keep kicking this can down the road indefinitely. They will HAVE to be forced either to acknowledge religious and conscience freedom eventually, or completely gut the 1st Amendment.
But I can see the difficulty. The CRA of 1964 effectively neutered much of the 1st Amendment freedoms of private citizens, so recognizing those constitutional rights anew would have a ripple effect, and I don’t think they want to go down that path, cowards that they are.
How about an all Jews must die student group?
Do you know what the word ‘yeshiva’ means?
Do you know YU has requirements for Jewish religious studies and traditional Jewish observance?
They don't get any religious exemptions.
