The backers of the Christian students, including our Radical Right-Opportunist-Attorney General, apparently want to open the door to "whites only" meetings, "no Jews allowed" meetings, "no cripples need apply" meetings, and "Women Go Home!" meetings. Is that what our tax dollars should support? This is not an issue of Freedom of Religion, Freedom of Speech, or Freedom of Association; it's a blatant case of discrimination in public facilities masquerading as a civil right. If they want to discriminate, go off campus. If you want to use the facilities at a publicly funded university, you cannot discriminate. Period.
