The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear a case on college bias:
"The Christian Science Monitor reported the Christian Legal Society at the Hastings College of the Law in San Francisco was stripped of its registered student organization status at the college because it refused to allow gay and lesbian students to become voting members or officers."
Libertarians are clear about our opposition to government regulation of private business:
"The right to trade includes the right not to trade — for any reasons whatsoever."
But U.C. Hastings is not a private business. It is a taxpayer-funded state school, which means that it cannot engage in any discriminatory behavior against any taxpayer. By refusing to use taxpayer funds to support the discriminatory student group, the University made the correct decision, which the Supreme Court will hopefully uphold.
