☆ First Amendment still sufficient after student org protections revoked: A perspective

The Dept of Education has announced rollback of a “burdensome” exec order preventing public colleges from receiving grants “if they put limits on the activities of religious student organizations.” Conservatives are concerned in the wake of rampant anti-free speech protests, but Kyle Grow at SJSU’s Reformed University Fellowship (RUF) is quietly hopeful for continued First Amendment liberties. An Opp Now exclusive.

It appears as though the rule was a tad redundant, and a sloppy weapon in a culture war that will not help the church in the long run.

I believe that the 1st Amendment is robust enough on its own without superfluous additions like this rule. The rollback of this rule will not affect my life or ministry on campus, and if SJSU were to try to limit our activities, I am confident in the protections of the 1st Amendment and in the Lord who governs all things.
