Christians Sue for Right Not to Tolerate Policies

Ruth Malhotra went to court last month for the right to be intolerant.

Malhotra says her Christian faith compels her to speak out against homosexuality. But the Georgia Institute of Technology, where she's a senior, bans speech that puts down others because of their sexual orientation.

Malhotra sees that as an unacceptable infringement on her right to religious expression. So she's demanding that Georgia Tech revoke its tolerance policy.

I wonder if she realizes that if they revoke the policy, it can allow everyone on campus who finds her views idiotic and closeminded to pretty much torment the hell out of her.

There's a reason that sort of thing isn't allowed in colleges. People are paying money to be there, and it's a really a matter of please the most number of customers (who don't want to hear it). It's like at work.... if I went around saying women were in league with the devil, they'd fire me for being a dick. Colleges can't simply FIRE people because there's a legally binding monetary contract, so they have to implement policies which allow them to control disruption on the campus.

It's a business. You're allowed to say what you want to say, but they own the property and should be allowed to kick you off it for being a prat.
