University defunds Christian student organization because it wants to be Christian
Madness: A California university will deny funding to a Christian student organization because it requires its leaders to be Christian.
In other words, the university administration thinks it is discrimination for this Christian organization to not want Jews or Muslims in charge. Who would have thought?
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

The question is does the same requirement apply to PETA, Muslim, Jewish, Black, etc. organizations? If not, then its discrimination. But if 200 of my close friends and I could join PETA, elect me president and and hold a barbeque, then I guess its a level playing field.
Not sure why a Christian group wants funding from the University.
“Not sure why a Christian group wants funding from the University.”
This is a typical student club at the university, made up of students with like interests. Such clubs routinely get financial support from their university, often in the use of facilities as well as small stipends to cover other minor expenses. Denying this particular club this support will likely force it to have to go off campus, which in many cases, because of costs and the inconvenience of attending meetings, will end up being a death sentence for the club.
