		<description><![CDATA[In yet another blow to our religious freedoms, the U.S. Supreme Court recently ruled that a Christian student group must accept gays and non-Christians as members if it wants to be officially recognized by a public university. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, writing for the court's 5-4 majority, said the "all-comers" policy at the University of California's Hastings College of the Law is "reasonable" and "viewpoint neutral."]]></description>
