“The student government at Texas A&M University approved a bill in support of students who wish to opt out of having their activities fees pay for groups they deem morally objectionable,” Robby Soave of The Daily Caller reports:
Supporters of the “Religious Funding Exemption Bill” say it does nothing except ask university administrators to give students more say over which groups receive funding.
Some Christian students objected to having their tuition dollars go to the campus’s GLBT Resource Center, which provides counseling to gay students. The group receives about $100,000 a year–about $2 per student. …
The bill’s author, Chris Woolsey, told the student newspaper that he merely thought students deserved more of a say in how their money was spent.
But that rationale may not hold up in court. The Supreme Court has held that public universities cannot deny funding to student groups solely on the basis of their political viewpoints.
