California College System "Eliminates" Christian Clubs, Abolishes First Amendment
The rounding up and persecution of Christians continues in the United States with new attacks on young Christians at 23 schools in California.
The California State University network has "derecognized" any student organization that requires beliefs to be a leader in.
This of course is primarily targeted at Christians and usually over homosexuality.
Christianity Today reports:
InterVarsity Christian Fellowship (IVCF) has been, in modern campus terminology, "derecognized" by California State University schools. Basically, they will no longer be arecognized campus organization on any of the 23 schools in that system. IVCF has been derecognized because they require their leaders to have Christian beliefs. It's not just InterVarsity that will be impacted. Following the same logic, any group that insists on requiring its leaders to follow an agreed upon set of guiding beliefs is no longer kosher (irony intended) at California's state universities. This will impact many other faith-based organizations with actual, well, faith-based beliefs. Presumably, even People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals would have to allow Oscar Meyer to lead their campus chapters.......................http://www.christianitytoday.com/edstetzer/2014/september/intervarsity-now-derecognized-in-california-state-universit.html
