Christians at the University of California-Davis (UC Davis) are fighting a discriminatory policy that singles them out as religious oppressors.
The university has issued a policy statement, asking students to adhere to its definition of "community." David French, senior counsel for the Alliance Defense Fund (ADF), tells OneNewsNow the Christians on campus have discovered that the school's policy, which defines "religious/spiritual discrimination" as "the loss of power and privilege to those who do not practice the dominant culture's religion," does not protect them from religious discrimination as -- in his words -- it is "institutionalized oppressions toward those who are not Christian."
"Religious discrimination can only occur in UC Davis' mind if it is directed against someone who's not a Christian," French summarizes. "If you're a Christian student [who gets] tossed out of class because your atheist professor doesn't like you, well, good for him; you're the oppressor, apparently. Or if a Christian group is denied equal access to campus...that's not religious discrimination in the university's eyes."
The people teaching the children of a majority Christian country are now telling them that Christians are the oppresors goes way beyond what they are paid for. They should be fired on the spot!
It would be nice if they separated state and religion. This would prohibit the academics from broaching the subject and deal much more even-handed.
This freedom "from" religion is getting so old and tiring.
Now THAT finally defines where the liberal sits: free "of" religion.
On your deathbed you will have quite a few different thoughts. I feel sorry for you.
No, that DOESN'T "define where a liberal sits"... That defines where *I* sit... And it's also tiresome that you feel it necessary to continually make the sweeping "liberal" generalizations based on one person's perspective.
More than nine in 10 conservatives say they attend religious services at least several times a month and often more than once a week, and nearly three-quarters of progressives say the same; that latter figure is at least twice the national average.
Christians dominate both movements, with 99 percent of conservative activists identifying as Christians and 71 percent of liberal activists calling themselves Christians. (Twelve percent of liberal activists are Unitarians or "mixed faith" and six percent are Jewish; Jews did not register among conservative religious activists.)

Wow LJ, you are the queen of sweeping generalizations when it comes to conservatives. Should we make a list of your quotes? (It will be pretty long and repetitive) rofllol
