U Cal, Hastings has rejected official recognition to a Christian club since it discriminates by religion for members. The 9th Circus has upheld U Cals decision.
The ratifications are that a not recognized club may not meet on campus, nor receive student union funds.
So should a Christian club be allowed to discriminate?

It's not discrimination, it's just common sense. If you're not a Christian, you don't need to be in a "Christian" club.

Won't it make more sense for a Christian Club to welcome non-Christians?
Aren't we supposed to be sharing the Gospel? -
If any group requires their leadership to meet certain criteria, then the Christian club should too. It's not discrimination any more than not allowing a guy to lead a girl's club or a liberal to lead a conservative club.

I don't think the issue is membership but leadership.

Seems to me to be a funding issue. Why should a Jewish student have his funds support a Christian group? Or why should a Christian student be forced to have her funds support a Muslim student group?

How about- let's not have any "clubs" but instead focus on education or whatever passes for that nowadays?

Several years ago, liberal law professors, calling the military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" stance bigoted, also tried to use their schools' anti-discrimination policies to ban JAG recruiters from their campuses.
At the Supreme Court, the professors were roundly defeated, failing to convince even a single justice.

The Supreme Court I wished would keep their noses out of stuff like this and let the clubs decide for themselves.

Most "clubs" are discriminatory in one way or another. -
If I should fund the Moslem Wars then you should fund NPR. You are getting off with maybe one tenth of a mil on the dollar compared with my funding the wars.
