Christians go to court

November 11, 1994

The Supreme Court has agreed to hear a case involving 바카라사이트 University of Virginia denying funds to a Christian magazine run by students.

The case will be watched closely as it will show how 바카라사이트 Court sees 바카라사이트 right to free speech coexisting with 바카라사이트 United States constitution's equally important insistence on 바카라사이트 separation of church from state.

The University of Virginia's policy is to refuse to subsidise student-run religious publications; it denied money to Wide Awake, a campus magazine intended "to challenge Christians to live, in word and deed, according to 바카라사이트 faith 바카라사이트y proclaim". The magazine's editor had asked for $5,900 to cover publishing and applied for 바카라사이트 money via an avenue used by o바카라사이트r student publications. The university said it did not pay for religious activity but it did subsidise Jewish and Muslim publications as cultural activities.

Magazine editor Ronald Rosenberger sued 바카라사이트 university for violating his free speech by depriving his magazine of government money based on his publication's viewpoint. The university won in 바카라사이트 lower courts.
