‘No Religious Group Is Safe From Government Control’: SCOTUS Makes Yeshiva University Return To NY Court, Forces Acceptance Of LGBTQ Club
The Supreme Court has temporarily forced Yeshiva University (YU), the famed Orthodox Jewish university in New York, to accept an LGBTQ club against its wishes.
The university had asked for a stay of a Manhattan judge’s order YU grant recognition to the Yeshiva University Pride Alliance; on Friday, Justice Sonia Sotomayor granted the emergency petition, but on Wednesday the court voted 5-4 to reject the stay and send the case back to the New York courts, where YU has lost before.
