A Missouri lawmaker has proposed a new bill that is designed to make sure that on a college campus, Christian groups can be free to discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation while still enjoying all of the perks and privileges of being a student group.
State Rep. Elijah Haahr (R) has introudced HB 104, a bill that prohibits universities from “burdening” any religious organization by denying it recognition based on its beliefs and practices:
No public institution of higher learning shall take any action or enforce any policy that denies a religious student association any benefit available to any other student association, or discriminate against a religious student association with respect to such benefit, based on that association’s requirement that its leaders or members adhere to the association’s sincerely held religious beliefs, comply with the association’s sincere religious observance requirements, comply with the association’s sincere religious standards of conduct, or be committed to furthering the association’s religious missions as such beliefs, requirements, standards, or missions are defined by the association or religion upon which the association is based.
