(Jewish Group) Yeshiva University abruptly cancels all student groups after Supreme Court order

Yeshiva University abruptly cancels all student groups after Supreme Court ordered the school to recognize an LGBTQ club

New York's Yeshiva University opted to cancel all student club activity after the US Supreme Court ordered the school to recognize an LGBTQ club for the time being.

The university wrote in an email to students on Friday that it would "hold off on all undergraduate club activities while it immediately takes steps to follow the roadmap provided by the US Supreme court to protect YU's religious freedom."

The decision comes after a state court ordered the school to recognize the student group immediately, CBS News reported. The Supreme Court in a 5-4 vote lifted a temporary hold placed on a court order requiring the university to recognize the group, YU Pride Alliance, according to CBS.

The majority – which included Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Brett Kavanaugh, along with the three liberal justices – wrote that the school may return to the state court to make a case for an expedited review or temporary relief. If the state court refuses, Yeshiva can return to the high court, the majority wrote, per The New York Times.

to participate in their choice of topics, etc., no matter what the issues/topics are, are an important part of a young person's development.

Pathetic and cowardly.

As you and I both know well: there is (almost) no talking to these folks. I have tried to have discussions about all sorts of stuff over the decades to no avail.
