In their continued fight for religious freedom, Christian students at Vanderbilt University have organized a video campaign highlighting their concern for the university's new policy barring religious groups from selecting members and leaders based on faith requirements -- a policy they say discriminates against Christians.
The nearly seven-minute video features several university students, alumni, and sponsors speaking on their rights to freely express their religious association, and the importance of electing religious leaders to the university's student run organizations.
The video also claims that there is a disparity in university requirements for Greek organizations and religious organizations, as the university allows Greek organization to "discriminate" for leadership and membership positions.

What these people don't say is the reason they're crying if that they no longer can receive money from the institution.
That's it. They are perfectly free to meet, they just can't do it with Vanderbilt money.
These kids or their parents are paying tuition. All should be funded or none. It's called freedom of association.
Very well done. Glad to see these students speaking out. It's insane that they would be forced to allow an atheist to serve in a leadership position in their Christian organization. That would be like our country electing a socialist as president....er, oops.
I hope this will encourage more Christian campus leaders to speak out!! A Very brave and articulate group!
God bless you all.
