Religious Discrimination?

A recent Supreme Court ruling that denies a Christian college organization access to campus facilities violates the First Amendment, says Dennis Byrne at the Chicago Tribune. “The group is the Christian Legal Society, an association of Christian lawyers and law students. The intolerant school is the Hastings College of Law, a part of the University of California…All kinds of discrimination correctly are unlawful, such as racial discrimination. The legality of other kinds of discrimination, such as gays in the military, still is being debated. But one kind of discrimination clearly cannot and ought not be allowed, and that is viewpoint discrimination. That a major scholastic institution and the Supreme Court do not understand the difference is alarming.”
