"I find it bitterly ironic that anybody would regard LSUC as being motivated by a desire to restrict religious rights..."

Careful of that windmill you're tilting at.

Nowhere have I mentioned that LSUC is motivated by a desire to restrict religious rights. Nor do I see anyone else making that argument. I'm of the belief that LSUC is motivated out of good intentions. Nevertheless, LSUC's actions are an infringement on the fundamental rights of TWU and its students. Regardless of its motivations, that is the practical effect of LSUC's policy.

If there's bitter irony here, it's that a professional association that fought for religious rights within its profession in 1839 would choose to violate them within its profession today.
