David French: Is liberty a “zero-sum game”?David French, Director of the ADF Center for Academic Freedom, writing at Phi Beta Cons: “Yes, cases like Martinez are a ‘zero sum game’ . . . if the goal is to force private institutions to accept people who do not share the group’s belief . . . But there is a path where both sides win, where there is not a “zero sum,” and that path is to respect free association and free speech. If the Christian Legal Society succeeds in protecting the free-association right, then that right will also be enjoyed by groups like Hastings Outlaw (which, ironically enough, has intervened in the case to toss the Christian Legal Society from Campus).” |
