The Alliance Defense Fund has scored another victory for free speech and religious liberty on public college campuses. A court says the Safe Space program at Georgia Tech trampled on Christian students’ rights.

The court ruled the Safe Space program discriminated against those who hold a biblical view of sexuality. The Alliance Defense Attorney is Nate Kellum.

“So, what happened in the ruling is the court found that rightly to be unconstitutional, that a state university can not elevate one religious belief over another and that’s precisely what they were doing with this program.”

Christians on campus became fearful when ‘Safe Space’ class graduates started hurling ridicule.

“They denigrated the religious beliefs of evangelical Christians and others that would condemn such behavior.”

Two students asked for legal help when university officials refused to help. Orit Sklar graduated last year from Georgia Tech’s Civil Engineering Department, and felt the scorn from the program’s alumni.

“It was a real pattern that was established over these three to four years. It was turning into a very repressive environment for us.”

Kellum says that’s going to change soon. The court ruled the religious component has to be taken out of the curriculum. One statement says biblical passages have been misinterpreted over the years to comply with a strict set of rules about men, women and relationships.

“But all that has been stripped by court order and so they will no longer be able to conduct this program, where they denigrate religious beliefs.”

Earlier the court also struck down a separate divisive speech code policy.
