To its credit, the Washington Post finds “absurd” the consequences of the college’s new “anti-discrimination” laws, which is to say

gay student organizations forced to accept those who believe that homosexuality is an abomination. Student political groups, such as Young Republicans or Young Democrats, compelled to allow members of the other party to vote on policy platforms. A law association for African American students being told that it must let white supremacists run for leadership posts.

The problem is that the school’s “all comers” policy requires that a group accept as voting members even those who disagree with its core principles – and, of course, compliant groups are awarded the financial goodies, e.g., the right to apply for grants funded by student activity fees.

The WaPo gets this one right:

It is one thing to require that groups that accept school funds and use school facilities give every student the opportunity to attend meetings or explore the virtues of a particular organization. But it is altogether different to require groups to accept as members or leaders even those who disagree with its central beliefs. This cuts at the core of meaningful association; penalizing a group by withholding school benefits only exacerbates the harm.
