Supreme Court aimed at Yeshiva University but hurt its students instead

By failing to protect a university’s religious liberty, the Supreme Court has inconvenienced every student club at that university. For shame.

I wrote last week that the high court had erred in refusing to intervene to protect the free exercise of religion by Yeshiva University, the national flagship college for Modern Orthodox Judaism. New York state had ordered Yeshiva, against its religious convictions, to provide full recognition to a homosexual “pride” group on campus. Yeshiva already was committed to “an environment that welcomes all students, including those of our L.G.B.T.Q. community,” but had merely stopped short of providing the same recognition and whatever presumed administrative support for the club that it provides other student groups.
