To ban an organized group from a campus violates this history.<\/p>\n<p>The object of the wrath of officialdom is the University Bible Fellowship (UBF), which three years ago became active in Canada, an import from Korea. News reports tell of young female Koreans allegedly harassing students and faculty in hallways and cafeterias.<\/p>\n<p>Even the fact that the administrators may view the reputation of UBF as unsavory, this fact should not be sufficient reason for it to fall under a general prohibition. If indeed its advocates engage in actual harassment, then charge them with petty trespassing, and transfer any possible discipline to where it should be relegated, the courts.<\/p>\n<p>If university officials dislike UBF and what it stands for, then let them say so, and preach against it. Let them not, however, issue blanket bans against the supporters of any creed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":212,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[134,1,147,141,138,145],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3165","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-abuse","category-article","category-evidence","category-info","category-injustice","category-reports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ubfriends.org\/ubfriends2015\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3165"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ubfriends.org\/ubfriends2015\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ubfriends.org\/ubfriends2015\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ubfriends.org\/ubfriends2015\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/212"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ubfriends.org\/ubfriends2015\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3165"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/ubfriends.org\/ubfriends2015\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3165\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ubfriends.org\/ubfriends2015\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3165"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ubfriends.org\/ubfriends2015\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3165"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ubfriends.org\/ubfriends2015\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3165"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
