Real Clear Religion
By: Andrea Picciotti-Bayer
When my son recently began his first year in college, I kept my advice simple: make friends, have fun, and study, but ignore the propaganda.
Originally founded as a religious college, the university he’s attending is now secular and progressive. You would think that parents whose children, unlike my son, attend overtly religious colleges and universities shouldn’t have to give the same advice I did. But they do. At least for now.
On Wednesday, the Supreme Court – which normally defends religious freedom – refused to lift an order forcing Yeshiva University, the nation’s largest Orthodox Jewish university, to officially recognize LBGTQ student advocacy group YU Pride Alliance over Yeshiva’s religious objections.
