There's an obvious difference between the groups listed. The pro-life group would be explicitly advocating a controversial political position. The other clubs listed are student support clubs, hobby clubs, and discussion clubs.

Well that obviously makes it even worse.

I don't think this has anything to do with free speech per say, as even in the public sphere its impossible to give platform to everyone. The school is right to make a decision as to what groups reflect its image. As I'm sure, you would not call it a 'free speech issue' if gay students at Biola was told that they could not have a campus group about that.

So while I think its a bad move for school to disallow that group, I can't deny them their rights to do so, nor would I call it a free speech issue.

Leonhard, this is a free speech issue, believe me this school will lose in the courts. A public school does not get exclude this club, while allowing others.

if they have a political science club I dont see how they can disallow them for being too political.

The school in question is paid for with public funds.
Biola is a privately funded school.

Publically funded schools have to allow for free speech so it is very much a free speech issue.

Which is a made-up rule specifically designed to oppose just this club.

IE: They have a gay straight alliance club:
