Anyway, the point of the article is that Judge Diane P. Wood, a judge whose head IS screwed on straight, speaks in favor of Hastings College of the Law in San Francisco in a case against the school by the Christian Legal Society. The CLS is a group funded by HCL which, despite an HCL policy that clearly states that the college would not allow a group that discriminated against members, would not allow homosexuals and nonbelievers to become voting members or to assume leadership positions.
The reason for the title is because of what Judge Diane S. Sykes said in reference to the majority ruling in a similar case at an Illinois law school involving a chapter of the CLS. Sykes said that,
“It would be very difficult for C.L.S. to sincerely and effectively convey a message of disapproval of certain types of conduct if, at the same time, it must accept members who engage in that conduct. C.L.S.’s beliefs about sexual morality are among its defining values; forcing it to accept as members those who engage in or approve of homosexual conduct would cause the group as it currently identifies itself to cease to exist.”
[emphasis mine]
So I guess the survival of a hate group is at the top of the list of bullshit to care about.
