"THE right to religious liberty and freedom of association are fundamental in America. But what is not is the obligation of public universities to subsidize a religious student group that is committed to discriminating against some students.
As we see it, that is the crux of the dispute between a San Francisco chapter of the Christian Legal Society and the University of California-Hastings college of law in a case now before the U.S. Supreme Court. The society lost its recognition - and funding - as a student group because it refused to abide by the school's anti-discrimination policy.
Under that policy, student organizations must allow fellow students to join and potentially seek leadership positions in any group without regard to 'race, color, religion, national origin, ancestry, disability, age, sex, or sexual orientation.' Society leaders refused to accept gay or lesbian students."
