The oldest Jewish university in the U.S. has now appealed to the Supreme Court as the next step in a lengthy battle over whether the religious school has to recognize an LGBT club.
The legal battle began last year when a group of students and alumni of Yeshiva University took their university to court, demanding the school endorse an LGBTQ Pride Alliance club on campus.
The legal challengers argued the Jewish New York university, founded in 1886, is not a religious institution and should be forced to endorse the club. In June, the New York County Supreme Court sided with the students, ruling that the Jewish university did not qualify as a “religious institution,” pointing to organizational documents where the university calls itself an operation for “exclusively educational purposes.”
Now, the university has appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, emphasizing the religious nature of the school and thus why it should qualify for an exemption. Whether the high court will hear the case remains to be seen.
“All undergraduates are strongly encouraged to begin their Yeshiva experience with intensive religious studies in Israel, with over 80% doing so for university credit,” the school argued in their filing to the Supreme Court. “The male undergraduate students study Talmud with the Seminary students, as the University doesn’t ‘separate’ undergraduates and seminarians for religious instruction in the beit midrash or ‘study hall.’
“The Torah guides everything that we do at Yeshiva – from how we educate students to how we run our dining halls to how we organize our campus,” said Ari Berman, president of Yeshiva University. “We care deeply for and welcome all our students, including our LGBTQ students, and continue to be engaged in a productive dialogue with our Rabbis, faculty and students on how we apply our Torah values to create an inclusive campus environment. We only ask the government to allow us the freedom to apply the Torah in accordance with our values.”
Judaism doesnt want lgbt in their schools
Based fellow homophobes
I’m going to pay a down on their luck / resentful Jew to start a slavery guilt and history club and a Muslim club at this university.
Unfortunately the days of America being a land of religious freedom are gone. That was allowed under whites, but third world brown people don't defend freedom likes whites did. Sorry Mr. Shekelstein.
third world brown people are far more religious than most whites you fucking moron
They say they are more than whites, not are.
this is, of course, an egregious affront to LGBTQP+ rights. why isn't the media talking about this?
gay marriage is also illegal in israel
Based. Faggotry is for the goyim.
Jews never practice what they preach to us goyim
Trans Jews Lives Matter
It's almost as if Judaism is just as, if not more homophobic than Christianity, and the liberal Diaspora """""Jews"""""" in Kikemerica are quite literally LARPing for brownie minority points. Faggots outside of their concrete mental asylum in Tel Aviv rightly don't feel very welcome.
All jews are lgbt after rabbi dick sucking
>The next generation of kikes don't even understand how to use their most important weapons against the goyim
>The Elders go full on SHUT IT DOWN
Jesus fucking Christ, zoomers really are destroying the world
Yeah, and they want to torture, murder, and gang-rape anyone who has slightly different religious beliefs.
ramat gan would like to have a word with you
>Brooklyn is separate from NYC
Getting real tired of this insufferable faggot.
Who is Any Forums siding with? The gays? Or the jews?
literally anyone is better than the jews

american jews are getting real tired of funding israel

I will fight alongside anyone who considers Jews their enemy. After they are defeated, everyone is on their own.
I'm so confused. Some of the raunchiest porn stars are kikesses now. They're drinking their own kool-aid.
