I was appalled to read of ASU's settlement with CLS in yesterday's edition of The State Press. It is truly a sad day when university students, who are supposed to be some of the country's brightest and best, [tried to sue] a public institution for their "right" to discriminate.
It is no wonder that religious groups get such a bad reputation. And to think, this group will be eligible to receive state funding! I only hope that sensible ASU students will take a stand against this ridiculous decision, and that groups like CLS will realize excluding all the people that don't agree with you will not make you right. It will only make you ignorant.

CLS discrimination requirement not a big deal
Because the CLS doesn't want non-Christians in their group, they are intolerant? So by the same logic, frats are intolerant of women. And sororities are intolerant of men. My department-specific organization is intolerant of students with other majors.
I'm curious, how many non-Christians actually want to be in the CLS group? Who here is being persecuted?
It is not a matter of intolerance; it is just the nature of the group. The group is not anti-anything.
It's not the "Christians are Better and We Hate Everyone Else" group. They just want Christian members for their group's activities. So what?
That is not intolerance -- it is just the nature of their activities.
