ANTI-DISCRIMINATION INSANITY ON CAMPUS

For 40 years the InterVarsity Christian Fellowship has held a Bible Study on the campus of Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine.  Now they have been denied recognition as an official campus organization because of the anti-discrimination rules.  What is the reason?  They have parameters for those who lead the group.  There are no parameters for those who attend and participate, but leaders are to hold Christian beliefs and mores.  The College wants the group to drop any parameters because it discriminates against those who hold non Christian beliefs and mores.

Let's talk logic.  Why would any organization put their leadership positions into the hands of someone who doesn't believe in or follow the beliefs and practices of that organization?  It would be irrational and illogical.  While in college and after graduation I participated in and later was a staff member for an organization similar to InterVarsity.  Everyone knew that the student leaders chosen were critical to the success of the work.  Not one person ever suggested that the group should select or elect leaders who didn't adhere to the purposes of the group.  Yet, now there is a trend among universities to do just that.  Why?  There is no logical reason.  Logic isn't the issue.  This is a frontal attack on people of faith.  The bigotry is obvious.  They don't want InterVarsity to have a voice on their campus.  The group has been known since its beginning to present the Christian message in an intelligent, meaningful, and persuasive manner.  Their materials have always been known for their quality.  I've spoken at InterVarsity meetings on many campuses and found them to have a very positive impact upon students and faculty.  The blunt truth is that the anti faith movement doesn't want such an effective voice competing with them.  They want opposing views silenced.  Bowdoin College better wake up and realize that what they are doing is eliminating their best and brightest from their school.

I suggest you check and see if such nonsense is going on at your college.
