I’m Sure They Fail to See the Irony

June 28th, 2009

The fundamentalist Christian “Liberty” University sparked some controversy when they banned the College Democrats club based on the fact that the political party the club stated affiliation to supports freedom of choice in reproductive rights and other such unacceptable heresies. The Republicans were allowed to continue with their club. Well, now an agreement has been reached: the club can start up again, but none of the political clubs will be allowed to use college funds.

The irony here is that a major complaint of fundamentalist Christians is that they are not allowed nationwide to engage in religious activities which use public (often school) funds. Faced with a similar problem where they are the administration–using their own funds provided by a body which may disagree with how they are spent–they came up with exactly the solution they decry as discriminatory and unfair when applied against themselves.

How about that.
