DanaGarrett says:

The College Republican Club hasn't been banned from the college but the Democrats club has been.

In this action we see what theological conservatism amounts to: suppression, denial, exclusiveness, sectarianism, and a seething contempt for freedom of thought and speech. It's appalling and an affront to democracy.
