Anti-Christian Bias at Shippensburg University

   Yesterday, May 7th the Christian Fellowship of Shippensburg  University  filed a federal lawsuit against the university.  The student group required it's members to be Christians and it's president had to be a man.  The Christian Fellowship said that Shippensburg had violated a 2004 settlement  of  a different lawsuit  about the school's student code of  conduct.  Some civil liberties group sued Shippensburg  over a clause in the student code  that prohibited "acts of intolerance" no sexist,racist,or homophobic speech.  A federal judge blocked enforcement of that clause with a preliminary injunction.  In spite of this, in February the Student Senate banned  the Christian Fellowship from campus.  The Student Senate was unhappy with the Christian Fellowship's membership and presidential requirements.  Steven Aden is a lawyer for the alliance Defense Fund Center for Academic Freedom.  Aden said "The club is under this cloud of suspicion, whereby their practices are being monitored to make sure they don't step out of line."
    This sounds like traditional Left Wing bias against traditional values , but something is not right.  The Christian Fellowship has been recognized by Shippensburg since  the early seventies.  The university has about eight religious organizations, all of them  appear to be judeo-christian.  Six of these groups have links to their homepage ( this may be an intranet  since I could not access the Christian Fellowship's website.)  What is going on?
