The Supreme court has the power to maintain equal opportunity for all. It has therefore done the right thing in giving the verdict. However, it is also necessary that each religion is fully respected.You have done a good thing in bringing out the news to the forefront through this post.

Exactly what I mean. According to liberal supreme court justices, everything is permissible. I have no right to refuse memberships to meat eaters when I start a vegetarian club. There must not be an exclusion. It is not allowed. The only law worth keep in liberal's mind, is a law to keep no law.

Mr. Bohm

The ruling does nothing to limit their right to their own religious opinions and convictions - it just says that a public school is not required to support a group that refuses to agree to its non-discrimination policies. The group is still free to exist, and to have their own opinions - they just don't get support in the way of funding, rooms, or other special priveledges given recognized student organizations.

Are citizens not allowed to have their own opinions and convictions any more? Well, maybe they can as long as they don't conflict with other people's opinions. Will the National Black Coach's Association be legally threatened if they don't allow white coaches to join? Take a step back and look at this ruling. Look at it through the lens near the time of the formation of this country. Such an action is truly frightening.
