Ga. Tech sued by conservative students

[kweerwolf]

Two Georgia Institute of Technology students have filed a federal lawsuit against the Atlanta university charging that current policies, including a "Safe Space" program dedicated to dispelling anti-gay stereotypes, limit their political and religious speech.

"The Institute threatens punishment ranging from sanction to expulsion for any student or student organization that engages in 'intolerant' speech, expression and behavior," states the lawsuit, filed last month in the Northern District Court of Georgia.

The case was brought by the Alliance Defense Fund, an Arizona-based legal group that describes itself as a "Christ-centered" organization dedicated to "defending the right to hear and speak the Truth through strategy, training, funding and litigation."

The ADF represents Tech students Ruth Malhotra and Orit Sklar. Both are members of the school's College Republicans as well as separate religious student groups. Their lawsuit also contends that conservative student organizations are denied school funding while liberal groups, such as the university’s gay support group, are funded.

... an Arizona-based legal group that describes itself as a "Christ-centered" organization ... Meanwhile, Christ would probably describe this group as a bunch of evil wingnuts who misuse his name and whom he is looking forward to bitch-slapping for all eternity.

They aren't as tolerant about bigot speech as we are.

7. There seems to be a movement building

that is entirely about defending the rights of bigots to be bigots anywhere at any time.

We all see them using the language of free speach, but they are taking a vicious step further. They are demanding the right to intimidate, to belittle, and to harrass.

If they succeed, they'll have a legal right to attack us and harrass us anyplace except maybe on our own private property. If people don't think we're second class citizens now, will they believe it then?

8. What I don't get ...

is how they state they're "limited of their political and religious speech", yet are the first to block ANYONE who would verture into their realm to discuss gays in a positive light.

But, hey, that's different, right?
