More on "discrimination," Christian groups, and law schools

Howard Bashman reports:

"This case concerns whether a religious student organization may compel a public university law school to fund its activities and to allow the group to use the school's name and facilities even though the organization admittedly discriminates in the selection of its members and officers on the basis of religion and sexual orientation."  Today the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California answered "no" in a lawsuit brought by the Christian Legal Society Chapter of University of California, Hastings College of the Law. You can access today's ruling at this link. Some additional background about the case can be accessed here.

I continue to believe that it is not helpful to characterize as "discrimination" the Christian Legal Society's practice of requiring that its leaders be Christian.
