Quote:Two Christian student groups at Virginia State University are suing the school with the help of Alliance Defending Freedom, claiming that their First Amendment rights have been violated.

The groups allege that the school is suppressing them while giving other student groups, including Muslim groups on campus, a pass.

The school better have a very talented lawyer. Alliance Defending Freedom has an outstanding record in cases like this one.

FOX News reports:

Virginia State University accused of suppressing Christian student ministries while Muslim groups are exempt

Virginia State University (VSU) is facing a federal lawsuit from two Christian student organizations that say the school stripped them of their official campus status and placed them under the direct authority of a university-appointed minister.

“Higher education has really broke from its long-standing desire to promote intellectual diversity and to actually seek truth, and, instead, they are essentially telling students that any disagreement, that certain speech is violence and that hearing difference of opinions on important topics is actually not encouraged. It’s actually discouraged,” Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) Senior Counsel Tyson Langhofer told Fox News Digital.

“I think that higher education is really failing in its primary role, which is to educate the next generation … how to deal with living in a pluralistic society with people who have different opinions.”

Attorneys with ADF filed the lawsuit on behalf of campus chapters for Women of Victory and Bethel Campus Fellowship. The lawsuit challenges VSU’s updated Campus Ministries Policy, which plaintiffs argue violates the First Amendment by forcing Christian student groups under university control while granting exemptions to non-Christian religious groups…

Non-Christian and Muslim student organizations remain exempt from the mandate, according to the legal filing.

Sadly, these claims are very easy to believe. Virginia has gone so woke in recent years.

The good news here is that Alliance Defending Freedom does not play games.

This nation was founded on Judeo-Christian principles and values. Several iconic symbols remain including "One nation under God" and "In God we trust." Yet...you wouldn't know that from most of these university woke machines. Freedom of religion is also a key constitutional protection. Again, Christianity gets the boot. I hope this lawsuit wins bigly.

Sad that it’s an HBCU

I was surprised at that as well.

You would expect something like this at the University of Virginia, or even Virginia Tech.
