Congressional Republicans stand for religious liberty

Eight members of the South Carolina Congressional delegation sent an open letter to the 64 colleges and universities in the state, as a way to stand up for the First Amendment religious freedoms of students and student groups on campus. The letter was organized by Third District Representative Jeff Duncan. The letter specifically mentions recent action by the California State University system that, according to the announcement, discriminated against Christian students by banning the InterVarsity Christian Fellowship group from that system’s 18 campuses. The letter urges college presidents to allow religious organizations to remain as fully recognized campus organizations to make that freedom clear within university administrative policy.
