The EU

Google says the EU requires a notice of cookie use (by Google) and says they have posted a notice. I don't see it. If cookies bother you, go elsewhere. If the EU bothers you, emigrate. If you live outside the EU, don't go there.

There Goes The First Amendment


For John, BLUFTufts, down the street, has banned a Christian group for wanting to be Christian.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

From the InstaPundit, through a couple of sites we come to The Tufts Daily:  The independent student newspaper of Tufts University.  Apparently the Student Christian Group has to go for being too exclusive in its leadership—requiring that they be Christians.

Tufts Christian Fellowship (TCF) has lost its official recognition as a Tufts Community Union (TCU) student group over alleged discriminatory clauses in the group’s constitutional requirements for its leaders.

TCF leadership says the group plans to appeal the decision.

The group’s Vision and Planning Team (VPT) failed to make revisions to their governing document that would bring it in line with the TCU Constitution’s non-discriminatory clause, Judiciary Chair Adam Sax, a senior, said.

I don't get it.  Why don't the (I presume Evangelical Protestant) Christians just band together and take over the French Club?

  How independent can it be if the Student Judicary can yank theIr right to call themselves a Tufts student newspaper?

Simple question: Is the club financed via fees collected from all students?

Anticipating the two possible answers, I'll observe the easiest solution in case the answer is "yes" is for the club to finance itself and ensure its autonomy.

If the answer is "no", then Tufts is wrong and suit should be brought for infringement of religious freedom.

Take over the LGBT organization?

At my law school, a white student could join the black law student group, but only as an associate member.

Made sense.
