GA Tech "religious freedom" plaintiffs are College Republicans

[Charlie Brown]

and their sponsors are the "Christ centered" Alliance Defense Fund. So much for impartiality.

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

1. Isn't it interestinig the gay and liberal groups aren't out screaming

about hating other groups and how they are subhuman..

The Repug groups want to receive funding to spout their hate about groups they disagree with...

2. College Republicans are a diseased lot

No good has ever come from that vile organization.

3. Now there's a shock...

Alliance Defense Fund?!? That sounds like one of those white supremacist separatist organizations...
I can see little has changed with College Republicans since I was in school in the mid-90s...they're still a bunch of little mindless assholes, but apparently even more militant these days.
:argh:

4. GT Alum

I graduated from Tech. It is by no means a bastion of liberalism, the conservatives run rampant. Most of the professors I had really showed no political bias one way or another, except possibly a sociology prof. This pisses me off big time as a Tech alum, a Georgia taxpayer, and a free thinking individual. What the hell is this woman thinking? A lawsuit? All schools in the state of Georgia's university system have had budget cuts across the board, and Tech gets less funding than a school in Athens, Georgia(lots of uga grads in the state legislature not many Tech grads. So much for no frivolous lawsuits, this woman, Ruth, is a stain on my degree. I do not want her to graduate from tech, all graduates of the school are a reflection on it. Trust me, the university is no cake walk. Ruth is an international studies student, you'd think that would open up her mind a little? This whole thing stinks, a lot of money that students and faculty could use is going to be wasted because of a narrow minded @#$@#!. Oh, I googled Ruth Malhotra and David Horowitz's name popped up in many of the hits. No agenda?

5. Yes, Ruth Malhotra is one of Horowitz's henchwenches...

and he has a substantial history of filing grievances about "injustices" done to her while at GA Tech.

6. Ga Tech

Tech is a pretty conservative place. Unfortunately she picked the one school there that is the least bit liberal and she got her feelings hurt because big bad prof didn't agree with her. Tech is a hard university, guess that's why it gets all those great ratings. Hey, the professors at Tech don't care about undergrads that much, we were/are a nuisance to their research/graduate teaching. I had the head of my school that didn't like me and I failed a class because of it, guess it was some kind of bias? Nah, Tech is just biased against stupidity that's all.
