Solicitor general warns Supreme Court faith-based practices 'will be an issue'
by Bob Unruh 2 days ago
The yawning chasm of a potential loss of accreditation reportedly faced Gordon College just a few months back.
It seemed that the Christian school’s Statement of Life and Conduct included “homosexual practice” as a forbidden activity and that had riled the politically correct officials at the New England Association of Schools and Colleges.
But, according to a report from the Gospel Coalition, that threat was removed when the association said its pending review of college practices was routine.
Now, however, that or a similar consequence could be facing every Christian college, university or other school in the nation – a threat that was issued directly by the Obama administration.
It came during the oral arguments before the U.S. Supreme Court this week on whether the justices will mandate same-sex “marriage” across the country, as it already has been forced by individual federal judges on more than two dozen states.
The threat came from Solicitor General Donald Verrilli of the Obama administration during an exchange with Justice Samuel Alito.

Christian schools will have no choice about gay marriage: Column
Michael Farris May 12, 2015
...As an appellate litigator and the coach of eight collegiate national moot court championship teams, I understand the goal of such preparation. You never want to hear a question from the bench that you have not thought about ahead of time.
Alito's question was premised on the Bob Jones University case from 1983 in which the IRS revoked the school's tax exempt status because of its policies on interracial dating and marriage. BJU defended on the basis of the free exercise of religion. The Supreme Court rejected their defense holding that the government's goal of eradicating racial discrimination in marriage was more important than BJU's religious rights.
So, the follow-up question from Alito's question is obvious: If the court rules in favor of same sex marriage, how can religious colleges that refuse to acknowledge such unions avoid BJU's fate?

Christians called to resist feds' grip on schools
WND EXCLUSIVE 14 hours ago
Government schools are warring on Christianity and real education, warns an education expert and one of America’s most influential Christian authors.
Pastor Carl Gallups and educator and author Alex Newman charge there is a deliberate and unified agenda to dumb down U.S. school children and remove Christianity from schools and public life. And both of them place most of the blame at the feet of John Dewey, the godfather of America’s progressive education system.
Newman believes the education bureaucrats controlling government schools are deliberately harming both the hearts and minds of American children.
“It is absolutely clear at this point that the militant secular agenda and the Big Government agenda are actually one and the same,” he told WND. “Real Christians have no need for big government. They generally have strong family, work ethic, community, and so on, in addition to high moral standards that should preclude bad behavior.”
Newman added, “But those promoting big government’s so-called solutions understand that a moral people with supreme allegiance to God are infinitely harder to oppress and control with government. Plus, the utopians pushing socialism and secularism know that as long as Americans are loyal to God above everything else, government will never be able to occupy that coveted place in people’s hearts, minds and souls.”
Newman, co-author with Samuel Blumenfeld of “Crimes of the Educators: How Utopians Are Using Government Schools to Destroy America’s Children,” believes religious schools are being targeted for destruction precisely because they are superior to government schools when it comes to education.
