Republicans bury anti-LGBTQ provisions in massive higher education bill
Source: Think Progress
A massive (542 pages) higher education reform bill proposed by House Republicans would write anti-LGBTQ discrimination into the law in the disguise of “religious freedom.” H.R. 4508, authored by Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-NC), contains two provisions clearly designed to enable discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity, even if it doesn’t refer to those specific terms.
The bill’s name, “Promoting Real Opportunity, Success, and Prosperity through Education Reform” (the PROSPER Act), suggests it creates opportunities, but a section called “Campus Access for Religious Groups” would add a new provision to the law that would guarantee that student groups can refuse membership or leadership positions on the basis of their identity:
None of the funds made available under this Act may be provided to any public institution of higher education that denies to a religious student organization any right, benefit, or privilege that is generally afforded to other student organizations at the institution (including full access to the facilities of the institution and official recognition of the organization by the institution) because of the religious beliefs, practices, speech, membership standards, or standards of conduct of the religious student organization.

And that sweet looking gray haired woman is a zealot and a hypocrite, bigot, racists deep inside and she thinks just like Devos, that discrimination is just fine under the disguise of the first amendment.
She thinks in that twisted gray mat on top of her head that Mathew Shepard murder was "hoax" and was just a robbery, never mind that the cretins that committed the beating and tied him to a fence and basically tortured the young man (human being) admitted to the crime
