Penna Dexter: Christian Legal Society Case

By ADF Alliance Alert

Penna Dexter writes at the Christian Post: "In what kind of a world does a Christian group not have the right to restrict its membership to practicing Christians? According to the United States Supreme Court: in today's world . . . ADF's Senior Counsel Jordan Lorence says, the schools that have such a policy often apply it inconsistently. He told reporters, 'Groups that have nothing to do with religion---environmentalist groups, homosexual groups, feminist groups, etc--they are allowed to kick out members who disagree with their message.' ADF Counsel Greg Baylor says this decision does place other student groups at risk and there will be more litigation on these non-discrimination policies. It is likely this ruling is not the last word on this subject. ADF's Lorence says, 'This isn't even a loss...in that we've lost the issue. It's that the Supreme Court has basically kicked it down the road for another day.' But once again 'non-discrimination' against homosexual behavior trumps religious freedom. ADF Attorney David French worries that the Supreme Court's reasoning in this case could mean that the liberties of churchgoing Americans are in danger. "
