Trouble for Vandy’s faith organizations?
New policy shakes their core foundations,
No discrimination allowed,
Now, gays and straights are both endowed,
To take charge of each other’s operations!
James 1:2-4 (ESV)
“Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.”
“That's part of American greatness, is discrimination. Yes, sir. Inequality, I think, breeds freedom and gives a man opportunity.”
Lester Maddox, ex-governor of Georgia
Vanderbilt University’s nondiscrimination policy makes it mandatory to allow everyone access to enrollment and leadership roles in any group on campus. This means that atheists can have leadership roles in Christian organizations and vice-versa. The Vanderbilt Catholic club has announced that they will not comply and will now serve off-campus.

This dispute started after a Christian fraternity expelled a gay member. The school then reviewed and amended their nondiscrimination policy. Since, four religious groups have placed on provisional status for violating the new policy. The school and the religious groups spent the last year trying to work out a compromise.
My view:
Why would an atheist want to join or lead a Christian group or a Christian want to join an atheist group? There is only one answer. To cause turmoil within the group. I am not the smartest person on the planet, but this is obvious. I want to point the fact that this country as of now, is still free. Any private organization should have the right to allow or reject their members as they so choose. It would be wrong to only allow one group on campus. For example, only Christians or only Atheist. Unless, of course the school is a predominantly Christian or Atheist establishment with such founding principles. Everyone already has an option to choose a group that is lined with his or her beliefs. What need is there to mandate that they can infiltrate other groups that do not hold their same beliefs. I cannot believe our leaders in our schools have such a socialist mindset to approve such a policy. Let us face the facts, our schools have become as liberal as they come! If this is not stopped, we will soon become the United Socialist States of America!
