Vanderbilt Says Christian Club Can’t Require Leaders to be Devout Christians | FOX News & Commentary: Todd Starnes
This would require that the group allow an atheist to be leader... or a buddhist...etc etc etc. Yes, it's highly unlikely that any of those would get voted into a leadership position, it's the principle of the thing... requiring it be allowed to begin with.
Now, before people start whining, in the same light, it would be wrong for a Buddhist or Atheist or whatever group to be required to allow a devout Christian to be leader.
Again, we all know these are highly unlikely to ever occur. It's the principle of the thing.
Vanderbilt University has informed a small Christian student organization that it will no longer be recognized as a student group because it requires its members to have a personal commitment to Jesus Christ, according to email correspondence provided to Fox News.
According to email correspondence from the university, the groups constitution was not approved because the university took issue with a requirement that leaders have a personal commitment to Jesus Christ.
Please change the following statement in your constitution, a university official wrote to the group.
The original statement read: Criteria for officer selection will include level and quality of past involvement, personal commitment to Jesus Christ, commitment to the organization, and demonstrated leadership ability.
The university directed the group to change the statement to read: Criteria for officer selection will include level and quality of past involvement, commitment to the organization, and demonstrated leadership ability.
