The Pilgrims didn't actually come here to escape religious discrimination, as such; they just wanted to practice their own kind of religious discrimination. They wanted to be on the top of the heap for a change.

Unless this particular path is blocked, we can expect to see more of the same.
The believers want to change the entire nation into a theocracy.
They are WELL on their way to succeeding.

I think this year is going to determine whether or not this nation remains THIS nation.
So far, it doesn't look good.

I hope that the Christian university gets its ass handed to it in court.

Religious freedom- the right to bigotry.

This is why freedom from religion is just as important as freedom of religion. The masses do not understand the difference or the importance of distinguishing the two.

I have a close friend who teaches philosophy and other subjects at a Catholic school--and she's an atheist. But she keeps her mouth shut about her own beliefs, and she tries to teach the kids critical thinking.

What does "absorbed" mean. Does it mean the Christian faculty will get their pay from private sources. If any public money is forthcoming it will be illegal and there will be lawsuits which will cost the new school money. I also suspect many students will look for another place to go where their creative talents won't be censured. It, hopefully, will be another wake up call for people to understand the damage unfettered religion can and does cause to the community.

Confusing christians with good people....christians flock to church for forgiveness and absolution....ie they are so bad they stress about it to the point they will grasp at imaginary absolvers.

Anyway, they are wrong. Religious freedom means you don't get to discriminate or force your beliefs onto others who don't believe as you do, because they have the freedom to believe as they wish.

I have posted your exact words because this is what is correct here.

Such people suffer from debilitating personal insecurity and they use that as an excuse to bully other people.

It has akways happened but now they are beng more open about it. Previously they would find other reasons or if you were working for a religious school in aussie you'd find there was a glass ceiling on promotion.

Isn't that like... ILLEGAL?

According to AG Barr you have this "Religious freedom means you don't get to discriminate or force your beliefs onto others who dont' believe as you do, because they have the freedom to believe as they wish." exactly backwards.

Their religious belief says people should discriminate against Gays, therefore any law telling them they cannot do so is restricting their freedom of religion.
Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

Barr says the militant secularist desire to prohibit the free exercise thereof, ie their bigoted religious ideas, same argument used by the slaveholders VS abolitionists.

This is a false argument anyway, any religion sacrificing children is seen as criminal, so too with child bride Mormons and so forth. Religious Liberty however, gives them a legal shield.

Expected in this environment of evangelical flexing muscles but not the brain or morals

The supreme court is stacked the insane religios shits will never lose.

Interesting...i guess they don't realize they are about to get sued and will pay a lot of money.

Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.

And they will no doubt get some form of severance package draw unemployment & be thrilled to not be stuck there having to quit &/or get nothing but weirdness! Good luck to you all!

I'm sure many (most?) private, Christian colleges have affirmation of faith requirements for their faculty. What would concern me is the fate of the faculty who had tenure (maybe facing retirement, etc.) in the secular institution.

OMG.

BUT...because they pay no taxes and are not subject to Government Rules they are allowed to select whoever they please to attend their Religious Followers funded Institution (of lower learning...LMAO). It is a double edged sword...as long as we do not fund them they can do this. The minute they are given TAXPAYER DOLLARS then we will see them in COURT...and there is NO WAY the SCOTUS can allow them to get away with it. If they do then it is time to IMPEACH the JUDGES.

I guess that's OK if I can post job openings at my company with the note, "Christians need not apply". Can you imagine the Christian uproar of how they are being persecuted?

A right wing art school.

No art here.

That’s in the Bible Belt isn’t it? Might as well go break stones all day.

Is this legal?
