The Little Frat That Sued - Pt. 1

Reader Niky R. wrote to tell my about something he found troubling. He says, "My school, the University of North Carolina, has been fighting a 'fraternity' that claims the right to discriminate against non-Christians ... the new frat seems to be mainly a cover for a radical-right challenge in the courts to nondiscrimination policies across the country."

Niky thinks that this deserves more attention -- and I agree.

My research indicates that the fraternity is the creation of a megachurch founded by a former member of the cult-like Maranatha Ministry.

And the non-profit doing the suing (a group founded by James Dobson, D. James Kennedy, etc.) gave presentations to campus Christian groups, challenging them to fight their school's non-discrimination policies so they'd get suspended and the group could sue on their behalf, hopefully taking the case all the way to the Supreme Court.

And this week the fraternity won an injunction that is being touted as a victory for Christianity and conservatism, in that it gives them the right to discriminate against homosexuals and non-Christians.

Don't you hate being the victim of a scam?
