June 23, 201610 yr Democrats, LGBT activists’ sinister plan to crack down on Christian schools | Fox News Am I missing something in the attached article? Private religious colleges requiring a profession of faith and chapel attendance would be a thing of the past. Chilling is the right word. Where would it stop?
June 23, 201610 yr Can a private religious-based university discriminate based on race? I assume that's a no but I truly do not know for sure. Can they discriminate based on sex?
June 23, 201610 yr Can a private religious-based university discriminate based on race? I assume that's a no but I truly do not know for sure. Can they discriminate based on sex? I do not think they can discriminate against admission but Kentucky Christian University in Grayson, Cincinnati Christian University, and Lincoln Christian University (Ill.) have codes of conduct that are grounds for dismissal. For example, if you have sex outside of marriage while enrolled, they can expel you. If you are drinking on campus, using drugs anywhere, or stuff like that then they can make you leave. Unfortunately I had a cousin enrolled at Kentucky Christian in 1985 to be a youth minister and slept with a girl from the bowling alley while he was married with two boys. He was expelled and is still not allowed to re-enroll.
June 23, 201610 yr Author Can a private religious-based university discriminate based on race? I assume that's a no but I truly do not know for sure. Can they discriminate based on sex? Is it discrimination to require everyone to attend chapel and provide a profession of faith in order to attend a private school? That's where I get concerned. Private school is getting no federal funding and appears only to be following it's religious convictions. To not allow this I believe is a restriction on religious freedom.
June 24, 201610 yr Hey, here's a thought, why don't we just let the blind get a license and drive too? I mean we are discriminating against them. I know, not the same thing, but same thought...as in dangerous and stupid.

Couple things in your post: I guess students at private, religious-based institutions are expected to go to mass (at least from what I know about the local Catholic elementary and secondary schools). Colleges I'm not so sure about. I can't imagine any college/university expecting a student or worker to sign a profession of faith or any such contract-type thing, but they go into it knowing the school has a specific code of conduct, which I think is the school's right. As far as private colleges getting federal funds, it happens all the time, albeit in a pass-through format from federally-issued student loans. Some I think do get some funding, albeit minor. Wasn't that part of the thing a few years back with University of the Cumberlands that David Williams was pushing the feds for (I could be totally misremembering this)? Generally it is done more commonly in areas where the college has a degree program that services a specific need in an underserved region (think nursing and other medical fields).

Generally it is done more commonly in areas where the college has a degree program that services a specific need in an underserved region (think nursing and other medical fields). Federally insured student loans can and should be used at any eligible college, doesn't matter if it's a private or public college. To do otherwise would certainly be discrimination against religious schools. That's a non issue. Not sure about the other funding but if it's as you say it is a win for the public so again it should not be an issue. The mindset of some of these people really blows me away.
