A Christian leader is backing a California private school’s decision to deny recognition of an on-campus “gay” and lesbian support group.
Students at Pepperdine University, a Christian school “committed to the highest standards of academic excellence and Christian values,” have collected nearly 4,000 signatures via a Change.org petition, in protest of school leaders’ decision to deny recognition to a homosexual-support group. Students filed an application for the recognition of Reach OUT on the university’s Malibu campus and were denied roughly a month later.
Gary Marx, executive director of the Faith & Freedom Coalition, does not think it is wrong for a Christian school to stick to its values.

“No university should be forced to put in place an institutionalized formal entity on a campus that would specifically undermine the values that that campus is committed towards teaching,” he contends.
