- did a little research...twas not a bathroom bill. It was the religious freedom bill.
From PBS.org:
Senate Bill 17, signed Monday by Republican Gov. Matt Bevin, applies to public schools, colleges and universities. The bill permits students to express their religious views within their assignments, allows professors to include Biblical lessons in their teaching, and authorizes campus organizations to set their own rules regarding membership.
The legislation, which passed 81-8 with bipartisan support, also states "religious and political organizations are allowed equal access to public forums on the same basis as nonreligious and nonpolitical organizations."
-sucks that Louisville was removed from consideration for the 2 conferences. No way of knowing if they were close to landing the deal...or they were one of a dozen in consideration.
- we have entered the age where politicization of *everything* is the norm...and reasonable people cannot disagree on minor issues yet still do business/break bread. Awful.
