Persecution Watch: Close to Home

Well, now it isn't just anti-Christian fanatics in California using the ACLU to ban all crosses from Blue States. The persecution arena has arrived in the South. This time, the outrage is happening here in Georgia. According to Cybercast News Service, Savannah State University has expelled a Christian group called Commissioned to Love from campus for doing what it calls "hazing" of new members and "harassing" other students, then for violating its suspension. What lewd and inappropriate behavior invited this branding? Foot washing. This school has defined as hazing, literally, what Jesus did. The members of the group apparently shared their faith with other students, which the school labelled "harassment." How far behind can it be for liberal colleges to start defining corporate prayer as "harassment?" Foot washing earned them a suspension and a strict warning. When members of the group attended a Christian music concert off campus, the school authorities announced that they had violated the terms of their suspension and expelled them from campus. Does the Constitution protect freedom of peaceable assembly? I am certain the private peaceable activity of students on their own time off campus is legal in this state. Commissioned to Love is suing the college, and well they should. Add a lion's den and Savannah State could fit the bill for Babylon perfectly.
