Cal State de-recognizes Christian group for wanting Christian leaders

The student group has secured the legal services of the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, the same law firm that successfully argued Hobby Lobby’s case against the Affordable Care Act’s contraception mandate before the Supreme Court.

According to a press release from the Becket Fund, “[t]he membership of Chi Alpha’s Stanislaus chapter is open to any student, however it asks that its leaders, who lead worship services and Bible Studies, affirm the group’s Christian beliefs.”

“The price of admission to a state school shouldn’t include denying your faith,” Becket Fund lawyer Adéle Keim explained in an interview with Campus Reform.
