The inverse of Groucho
Jun. 29th, 2010 09:53 amObligatory disclaimer: this is not a group whose views I support. But it doesn't matter.
The US Supreme Court ruled that UC Hastings can prohibit the Christian Legal Society from using campus facilities because they violate state discrimination codes. The group requires that prospective members endorse a "statement of faith" and bar "unrepentant homosexual conduct".
My reaction, if I were attending Hastings today, would be to immediately apply to the Armenian Law Students Association, the Black Law Students Association, the Hastings Catholic Law Students Association, the Hastings Democrats, the Hastings Vietnamese American Law Society, the La Raza Law Students Association... because if one group cannot choose who they admit and receive recognition and school subsidies, neither can any of the others.
