The Spin
Right narrative
This case affects the future of Yeshiva University and the First Amendment rights of all American religious institutions. Since the government has chosen to tell Yeshiva how a faith-based school can operate, the university has rightly decided to halt all student clubs until the legal process has been sorted out.
Left narrative
Religious freedom shouldn't be used as a smoke screen for discriminative policies. Yeshiva University is overreacting to a ruling that promotes a safe and inclusive student body. Many Yeshiva graduate schools have welcomed LGBTQ+ clubs for decades, proving the university's current argument baseless.
