What a Shocker: Equal Protection of the Laws

What a Shocker: Equal Protection of the Laws

From the August 11, 2009 Inside Higher Education:

Boise State Alters Policies to Allow Funds for Religious Groups

Religiously affiliated groups will now be able to seek student fee money at Boise State University, under an agreement struck with students who sued the institution. The accord was announced by the Alliance Defense Fund, which (along with the Christian Legal Society) sued Boise State last winter on behalf of six students who alleged that they had been denied funds for Christian groups with which they were affiliated, even though money was provided to atheist groups.
Now, you might make an argument that taxpayer funds shouldn't be funding stuff that isn't directly related to education. I would agree. But that would require defunding both Christian and atheist groups, as well as the various groups that promote other leftist agendas--and in the Political Correctness zone that is Boise State, that requires a lawsuit to make happen.
