Greg Baylor: A response to Professor Hamilton on CLS v. Martinez

ADF Attorney Greg Baylor writing at the Academic Freedom File: “[Marci Hamilton's] column states that this case will cause the Supreme Court to ‘wade into the culture wars morass.’ To be sure, this case arises out of a leftwing university’s attack on a theologically orthodox religious group. However, the legal principles involved transcend the particular positions taken by the contending sides on religious and moral questions. At stake is the freedom of all student groups to choose leaders who share their respective missions, free from undue government pressure . . . There is no need for the Court to ‘choose sides’ in the culture war. It simply needs to uphold the Constitution.”
