Christian group files for appeal of discrimination caseDaily 49er: A nondiscrimination lawsuit against Cal State Long Beach and San Diego State University from 2005 has resurfaced after the former campus Christian group, Every Nation Campus Ministries, filed an appeal in February . . . Alliance Defense Fund is representing the group. According to its website, the alliance focuses on cases that involve “religious freedom, the sanctity of human life and marriage and the family.” . . . Jeremy Tedesco, Alliance Defense Fund attorney and litigation-staff councilman, argued that “University officials would never require that the student vegetarian club allow meat-eaters or hunters to lead their organization. The ultimate impact of this [nondiscrimination] policy will be either to eliminate Christian clubs from campus or dilute them to the point to where they are no longer Christian,” according to the Alliance Defense Fund website.
