Tim Scott: Too Many Public Colleges ‘Are Silencing the Voices of Faith-Based Student Groups’
(CNSNews.com) - Sen. Tim Scott (R.-S.C.) joined Sen. James Lankford (R.-Okla.) and Sen. Roy Blunt (R.-Mo.) on Thursday in introducing the “Equal Campus Act,†a bill that would prohibit federal funding of public institutions of higher learning that discriminate against faith-based student groups
The text of the bill, which would amend a law that authorizes the federal government to provide funding to institutions of higher learning, says:
“None of the funds made available under this Act may be provided to any public institution of higher education that denies to a religious student organization any right, benefit, or privilege that is otherwise afforded to other student organizations at the institution (including full access to the facilities of the institution and official recognition of the organization by the institution) because of the religious beliefs, practices, speech, leadership standards, or standards of conduct of the religious student organization.’
