The campaign to eradicate Christianity is in high gear on college campuses:
The University of Iowa kicked a small Christian group of students, Business Leaders in Christ, off campus recently, because they regularly share their religious beliefs. … The dean of students told BLinC that if it wants to be back on campus, it must “revise” its religious beliefs and submit an “acceptable plan” for selecting its leaders. …
On Sept. 1, the university told BLinC it could select leaders who affirm its beliefs, so long as those beliefs were clearly stated so students would be aware of them. But after BLinC added a statement of its religious beliefs to its campus webpage, the university responded by kicking it off campus shortly before Thanksgiving.
Imagine educrats telling a Muslim group that it could not require its leaders to believe in Islam. The First Amendment protection of religious liberty would kick in quickly.
It might be kind of fun to have a secret Christian club that meets unofficially.
I want to lead the school’s BLM group, but I don’t believe in anything BLM stands for.
My alma mater. Who appoints the trustees of these state schools? Who controls them? Who pays for them? About time red state governors start kicking ass and taking names. Get rid of the leftist filth already!
Iowa ‘72.
This is very sad.
Maybe you can send an email that will stress that all your alumni donations will cease because of this lack of Religious Liberty.

Underground Christian organizations.
Meet in the catacomb?
The University of Iowa is about to get stomped on like a cockroach.
Iowa 77. I agree.
‘61 here. imagine my old school joy.
State school. Time for federal lawsuit.
It doesn’t matter. The university says the Christian group can’t insist that its leadership be all Christians. Go for it.
Marranos?
Then have him arrested.
Wow. They are a state actor with federal funding. 1st Amendment applies. The lawsuits will be fun to watch.
Who will be the person who files the lawsuit? Christ said to pray for them who treat you deceitfully...that is hard for me to do...but God sends rain to the just and the unjust...and if we want to be like God we need to behave like him...To do good to those who treat us so shamefully is definite proof that we are sons of God. But to make them conform to the rule of law is not retribution. So sue...and give them the lawful consequences of their disobedience.
They don’t call Iowa City the San Francisco of the Midwest for nothing.
